Protocol
Stack
There are two J1939 software packages available: ssJ1939-Full and ssJ1939-Light. ssJ1939-Full handles reception and transmission of standard single frame and multi-frame (i.e. Transport Protocol) J1939 messages. Also, ssJ1939-Full handles address claim arbitration specified by the network management layer. ssJ1939-Light is identical to ssJ1939-Full without support for the transport protocol which is used for multi-frame messages. If you have questions about our software, please see our J1939 Protocol Stack FAQ for possible answers.
J1939 Protocol Stack Details:
- J1939-82 compliant
- MISRA C compliant
- ANSI C source code
- Use with or without an RTOS
- Use with 8, 16, 32, or 64-bit CPU

SAE J1939
Introduction
This article is intended to give engineers a brief overview of the SAE J1939 protocol. For details on the specification itself, please visit the Society of Automotive Engineers. Here is a printable version of this J1939 introduction and Bosch CAN specification.
SAE J1939 is a replacement for the SAE J1587/J1708 network which has been used for medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles for the past 20 years. Today SAE J1939 is used as the standard communications bus for commercial vehicle’s diagnostic and control applications. Due to its popularity and success, it has been adopted by the agricultural (ISO 11789) and marine industries (NMEA 2000).
J1939 Overview
SAE J1939 is a high level communications protocol, which operates on a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. SAE J1939 specifies exactly how information (e.g. engine RPM) is exchanged between electronic control units (ECUs) on a vehicle.
It defines the data’s priority, size, scaling, and offset. For example, J1939 specifies engine RPM to have a default priority of 3, to have a size of 16-bits, a resolution of 0.125 rpm/bit, and an offset of 0.
The standard goes on to define many other aspects, including message timeouts, how large messages are fragmented and reassembled, the network speed, the physical layer, and how applications acquire network addresses.

Ports
Our real-time SAE J1939 protocol stack is completely platform independent and written in the ANSI C programming language. It is the CAN device driver, ssCAN, that is target specific and incorporates the details for a given microcontroller.
Together ssJ1939 and ssCAN form a complete ported system allowing customers to be up and running almost immediately. Our ssCAN device driver has been ported to over 40 different microcontrollers. Below is the list of available ports. Please contact us if you are interested in a port or device driver for a hardware platform that is not listed.
