Datalink Data Module J-OBD

Datalink's DataGate and DataHost software with optional engine-computer interface data module can process various engine data parameters for OBD-II gasoline and J1939 diesel engines. This provides data logging and diagnostics. The J1939 protocol is used for heavy vehicle and industrial applications, while OBD-II is used in most new passenger vehicles.

A few of the uses are: diesel powertrain systems on and off road gasoline powered vehicles liquid natural gas LNG vehicles agriculture and forestry machinery ISO 11783 intra vehicle networking for trucks and buses power generation and industrial pumping truck-trailer communication recreational vehicles marine systems NMEA2000 military vehicles MiLCAN fleet management systems

The SAE J1939 standard is the replacement for the older J1708 and J1587 protocols. The J1939 standard defines a huge number of parameters which can be monitored and are referred to by Parameter Group Number or PGN. The real-time data available for monitoring and on-board-diagnostics far exceeds previous standards and replaces outdated systems such as mechanical tachographs. Real-time monitoring via telematics and integration with GPS and wireless communication systems allows for complete fleet management and monitoring solutions, all at a very low cost of entry.
