3. Using the Quick Start Configuration
Running a BridgeWay with a Quick Start configuration is as simple as loading the
configuration into a BridgeWay module and establishing communications to it from the
required controller.
3.1 Configure the BridgeWay Module
1. Power on the BridgeWay module.
2. Connect the serial connector to a PC and start BWConfig.
3. Load the desired configuration file into BWConfig using the File->Open menu.
4. Set the master network configuration (Modbus, Ethernet, or PROFIBUS) as required
for the BridgeWay to communicate with the controller being used to monitor the
system.
5. Download the configuration into the BridgeWay.
3.2 Connect the BridgeWay to the Controller
1. Make any network connections required to attach the BridgeWay to the controller
network (Modbus, Ethernet, or PROFIBUS).
2. Establish communications with the BridgeWay from the controller. Refer to the
Interfacing to J1939 with… .pdf document for examples and tips on how to set up
communications for the controller that is being used.
3.3 Connect the BridgeWay to the J1939 Network
1. Make the network connections required to attach the BridgeWay to the J1939
network.
2. Verify that the module is online with no errors (Green J1939 status LED and no
errors shown in BWConfig).
3.4 Monitoring the J1939 Data
1. Using the controller, monitor the input data at the data table locations or register
addresses specified in the Consumed Parameter Data section below. This will be the
data that has been transmitted in the associated PGN messages by the ECU on the
J1939 network.
