WARNING!
This Model HDV100A3 Converter Module allows
you to connect to active J1708 / J1939 networks.
It is possible that your transmissions through this
converter module could cause malfunction of the
network operation, damage to software or
equipment, or bodily harm.
Do Not Transmit Any Messages to the network
without a complete understanding
of the operation of the network.
B&B Electronics Mfg. Co. specifically disclaims
any responsibility for damage or injury to
software, hardware, equipment or persons as a
result of using this product.
WARNING!

Introduction
The HDV100A3 adapter has two modes of operation: J1708 Intelligent and
J1939 Intelligent mode In Intelligent mode the HDV100A3 works with a
command protocol to control different operations of the HDV100A3.
The HDV100A3 performs several functions in the intelligent mode in order
to reduce the overhead and timing requirements of the host application when
communicating with the J1708 bus. The device handles collision detection
and retries with no additional interaction from the host application. This
greatly reduces the processor overhead required by the host in order to
communicate efficiently with the J1708 bus.
Note that the HDV100A3 is powered from the vehicle side of the interface.
If the device is to be used without a vehicle, it will be necessary to connect
power to the device through the 15-pin connector. Positive voltage is
connected on pin 8. Pin 7 is connected to ground.
Intelligent Mode Verification
To confirm that the HDV100A3 is in the Intelligent mode, set the host baud
rate to 115.2 KB 8,1,N. The host application can request the vendor number
from the HDV100A3 This is done by sending the following string in hex
from the host to the HDV100A3:
(01, 01, 05, 00, 07)
It will respond as follows:
Hex (01, 0B, 85, MM, DD, MA, M1, M2, MO, 00, VV, VV, 00, DB, CS)
An example of this command can be found on page 12 of this document.
The HDV100A3 does not need to be connected to a vehicle to respond,
however power must be supplied the HDV100A3.

Intelligent Mode Command Protocol
The HDV100A3 uses a simple protocol to communicate to vehicle bus. The
protocol is divided into four parts:
Start Of Frame (SOF)
Control Field (shown in light gray)
Data Field (shown in dark gray)
Checksum (CS)
Intelligent Mode Message Structure
SOF Number of
Control Bytes Control Bytes Number of Data Bytes Data Bytes CS
1 byte 1 byte 1 to 20 bytes 1 byte 1 to 100 bytes 1 byte
The Start of Frame byte is the first byte in a valid frame and is
always 01 hex.
The Control Field sets up the function and control of the
HDV100A3 hardware and is formatted as shown below.
Control Field Structure
Number of Control
Bytes to Follow ID Byte Function Byte Control Data Bytes
1 byte 1 byte 1 byte Up to 20 bytes
The first byte of the Control Field is the number of control bytes in
the message. This value indicates the number of control bytes, excluding
itself, to follow. If the message doesn’t contain any control bytes, the
Number of Control Bytes value will be set to 00 hex as a placeholder.
The next part of the message frame is the data field. The data field
is preceded by the number of data bytes, excluding itself, to follow and is set
to 00 hex if no data is present in the message. The data field is reserved for
data that is to be communicated to the vehicle bus.
Data Field Structure
Number of
Data Bytes Data Bytes
1 byte Up to 100 bytes
The last element of a valid message is the checksum. The checksum
is calculated by adding ALL bytes from the Start of Frame (inclusive) to the
last data byte and using the last 8 bits as a checksum.

Formatting the Control Bytes
The 2nd byte is “Number of Control Bytes” to follow and always
precedes the control field. The third byte is the ID byte. This byte tells the
hardware where to direct the message. Valid entries for functions are:
ID Codes
=01 Message for J1708
=02 Message for J1939
=08 General message (for control of the HDV100A3 device)
=05 Device identification (reverse compatible)
The fourth byte is the function byte. The functions that are
supported are listed below. Note that some of the function codes are
followed by additional bytes of information. These bytes must be included in
the control byte count.
Valid General Function Codes
Function codes
=01 change PC baud rate, followed by 3 bytes (UB3, Baud1, Baud2)
=02 send time stamp
=04 hardware handshaking
=08 reset converter, followed by 2 bytes (01,and 02)
=10 time stamp off
=20 time stamp on
Valid Entries for J1708 Functions
Function codes = 07 set broadcast message
= X8 set filter X off
= X9 set filter X on
= 11 Sync with J1708 bus and start reception
= 10 Stop reception
= 12 Transmit to J1708 bus
Valid Entries for J1939 Functions
Function codes =00 Receive off
=01 Receive on
=02 Transmit message
=08Setmask
=X8 set filter X off
=X9 set filter X on

Detailed Description of General Function Codes
Command Acknowledgement
All commands sent to the device will be acknowledged. If no error occurs an
ACK will be sent with the ID byte that accompanied the command. If an
error occurred, a NACK will be sent with the ID byte that accompanied the
command as well as a Function code of $05 and the Error Code. The
responses will not be shown for each command since it is the same for
almost all commands. Below is the format of the ACK/NACK response. If
an ACK/NACK response is different for a particular command, it will be
specified.
ACK/NACK Format:
Byte
Number Byte Value Function
1 01 Start of frame
2 01 or 03 Number of control bytes = 1 for ACK, 3 for NACK
3 aa ID byte 08 = internal command
4 bb Function code 02 = send time stamp
5 cc
6 00 Number data bytes
7 CS Checksum
aa – ID Byte
$01 = J1708 Interface
$02 = J1939 Interface
$05 = Device Id
$08 = RS-232 Interface
$09 = Message Xmit OK Response
bb – FC Byte
None = Command Received and Valid
$05 = A error was detected, NACK
cc – CD Byte
None = No Error Condition
Error Code = See Section 5.10

RS-232 Baud Rate Setup
To set the baud rate for the RS-232 port, set a general command code of 08.
Set the function code to 01. Then set 3 control bytes as follows.
Function Start

Frame
Control
Bytes Command Code Function Code UB3 Baud 1 Baud 2 Data Bytes Check Sum

Bit 7 = 1 allows baud rate divisor to be changed. 0 baud rate change is
blocked. Bit 7 should not be set. The setting and resetting of this bit is
handled internally.
Bit 6 = 1 forces the transmitter output to a logic 0 for alerting the remote
receiver to a line break. 0 indicates no break condition.
Bit 5, 4 and 3 work together to set parity
Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Parity Selection
* * 0 No parity (default)
0 0 1 Odd parity
0 1 1 Even parity
1 0 1 Force parity “1”
1 1 1 Force parity “0”
