Per SAE J1708 definition, Total Vehicle Distance (PID: 245) on J1708 network is broadcasted every 10 seconds, however, per SAE J1939 definition, transmission rate for Total Vehicle Distance on J1939 network is 100 milliseconds, so every time after GW2-1708-1939 device is powered up, there will be a period up to 10 seconds the “Total Vehicle Distance ” on J1939 network will displays as 0xFF FF FF FF (255 255 255 255) as there are no “Total Vehicle Distance” data available from J1708 network during at that time frame.

Hardware Connection
- Following is an example of how GW2 (Au J1708 to J1939 gateway) was used in the lab environment, Au J1939 Data center captured the PGN 65265, 65248, 65253 on J1939 / CAN network, the result is displayed on Au J1939 Data Center PC optional PC was used for demonstration purpose (Figure 3). Two 120-ohm terminal resistor must present on each end of the J1939 network backbone.
- On Figure 3, the J1708 ECU broadcasts “road speed” and “total vehicle distance” signals on J1708 network. Au GW2 receive these two parameters (road speed, odometer signals) on J1708 network . Then it will perform the following:
- convert J1587 “Road Speed” to J1939 “wheel based road speed” and transmit PGN 65265 on J1939 / CAN
- convert J1587 “Total Vehicle Distance” to J1939 “Total Vehicle Distance” and transmit PGN 65248 on J1939 / CAN network.
- In the mean time, it also output ASCII string on RS232, which can be displayed on PC screen using Tera Term (open source serial communication software) for monitoring purpose, please see details at the next paragraph for AT command
- On Figure 3, A J1939 device (Au J1939 Interpreter) was used to send out Engine Hour request command to J1939 network (using PGN 59904), once GW2 receive the request, it will send the request to J1708 ECU, then J1708 ECU will reply with the current Total Engine Hours and send it over to J1708 network (PID 247). GW2 then convert Total Engine Hour to SAE J1939 Engine Hour and transmit SPN 247 (PGN 65243) on J1939 / CAN network. Engine Hour data flow is illustrated in Figure 4
Optional Accessories
On the Bus side, use CBL-CAN-485-01 or CBL-CAN-485-03 to connect Au J1708 to J1939 Gateway to power supply, J1708 network, and J1939 network: connect black wire to GND, red wire to +12V/24V DC Power Supply , Yellow wire to CAN-L, Green wire to CAN-H), Brown wire to J1708 B -, Violet wire to- J1708 A

CBL-CAN-485-01: A 6-wire color coded cable which can be used for Au J1939 devices, Au J1708 devices. One end of the cable is DB9 female connector; it is designed to mate with Au devices on BUS side.
The other side of the cable is a pig tail with 3 pairs of twisted color coded wires: Red wire: Power supply, e.g. +12V DC Black wire: Ground Yellow wire: CAN High Green wire: CAN Low Violet: J1708A+ Brown: J1708B- |
