Communication Specifications

This chapter describes the communication specifications of GL10-M1NC1-T.

  • The product conforms to the SAE J1939 protocol.
  • SAE J1939 is a protocol that uses CAN in the physical layer, mainly being used in vehicles for construction machinery.
  • For details on SAE J1939, refer to the related standards.

9.1. CAN-BUS

  • Connect the product to the CAN bus that meets the requirement specifications of J1939.
  • If the branch wire (node sub length) that connects the product to the CAN bus is longer than the specification, the product may not communicate well via the CAN bus. Make the branch wire from the CAN bus as short as possible.
  • This product does not have a terminating resistor for CAN bus. Since the product cannot communicate well via the CAN bus not properly terminated, correctly add a terminating resistor to the CAN bus where the product is connected.
  • Ensure that the product has an address different from those of any devices on the CAN bus. If any device has a duplicate address, prevent duplication by changing the address of the product.

9.2. Communication Speed

  • The product conforms to J1939-16 [Automatic Baud Rate Detection Process] and automatically decides whether to use 250 kbps or 500 kbps to control communication.
  • Communication speed is determined when the power is turned on or a soft reset is performed.
  • Since the baud rate of communication packets over the CAN bus is used to determine communication speed, automatic determination does not finish if there is no packet over the bus. If packet is absent over the bus during automatic determination, such as when only the product is connected to the bus, send a dummy packet from the control side to terminate automatic determination.
  • Unless there is any specific reason, 250 kbps is recommended as communication speed to improve reliability.

1 Main body does not emit light. Is wiring correct? Check wires for correct connection.
In particular, connect CAN-L and CAN-H wires to their correct destinations.
Is correct power supply voltage applied? Use the appropriate voltage.
Is fuse blown? If fuse is blown, replace it.
Is LED error detected? Check for detection of LED error by using [Indication status] request.
2 Communication is unavailable. Does CAN bus have terminating resistor installed correctly? As the product does not incorporate a terminating resistor, properly install it on CAN bus.
Is branch wire from CAN bus to product longer than standard length? Make branch wire between CAN bus and product as short as possible.
Connect product to CAN bus that meets the requirement specifications of J1939.
Is correct data being sent? Send data that conform to J1939 protocol.
Is destination address correct? Send [Control of light emission] request to the source

address set in main body.

3 After startup, the first request is ignored. Are only product and control host node connected to CAN bus? Since packets over CAN bus are used to determine communication speed, after startup packets being used to determine communication speed are ignored.
4 Main body is bright (glaring). Adjust brightness by using dimming setting.
5 Light from main body slightly dims during operation. Has ambient temperature risen close to upper limit of operating ambient temperature? During light emission at high ambient temperatures, light may be dimmed to the level of [Dimming 2] or so to protect product.
 

6

Main body goes off, and after a while Status LED blinks. Is the function of turning off light upon timeout in ON state? If the function of turning off light upon timeout is ON, light goes off when there is no request for a certain period of time and Status LED blinks.
7 After power-on, a moment later Status LED blinks. Is there any duplicate source address in the same CAN bus? In the event of address claim failure due to duplicate source address or so, Status LED blinks in red.
