Communication
The VMM1210 uses the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication when
communicating with other modules on the vehicle, or with a personal computer.
6.1. Controller area network
The VMM1210 has 1 Controller Area Network (CAN) communication port(s)
available. The VMM1210 hardware provides controller area network (CAN)
communication according to the SAE J1939 specification, making the VMM1210
compatible with any CAN-based protocol through software.
CAN communication is used to communicate the status of multiple modules that
are connected together in the same network.
6.1.1. J1939 CAN Capabilities
The CAN communicates information at a rate of 250 kbps. VMM1210 input and
output information is transmitted through the CAN at a broadcast rate of 40 Hz.
Lack of regular CAN communication is an indication that there is either a
problem with a module in the network, or a problem with the CAN bus.
The following table provides specifications for the CAN:
