J1939 is an open communications protocol developed by the international Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for trucks and mobile technology. The J1939 works on the physical layer with CAN-high speed according to ISO11898. SAE J1939 defines five layers in the 7-layer OSI network model, and this includes the CAN 2.0b specification.
All J1939 packets contain eight bytes of data and a standard header which contains an index called PGN (Parameter Group Number), which is embedded in the message’s 29-bit identifier. A PGN is unique numeric identifier that is associated with a specific parameter name. A PGN identifies a message’s function and associated data i.e a PGN defines the parameter value; a device is requesting or the parameter value that a device is sending.
License Information:
- Designed for Horner PLC HMI controllers XL4, XLW, XL6 Prime (with a single CAN port).
- The permanent license is tied to a specific device.
- License activation is performed using the Cscape development environment.
- J1939 is a standard feature on Canvas devices (no license purchase required).
VIDEO: Tips and tricks for setting up HORNER PLCs with display, inputs and outputs
HORNER PLCs combine machine control, operator display and inputs/outputs in one device. If you need a compact solution for a smaller machine, part of a production line, a test station or modernization of older equipment, you do not have to source and combine a separate PLC, HMI panel and I/O modules.
The manufacturer’s training videos show how to connect the panel, work in Cscape, set up communication, use WebMI and work with basic inputs and outputs. They are especially useful during initial commissioning, so you do not have to figure everything out by trial and error.
Highlighted items are mandatory.
