Quick Start Configurations for J1939 System Checkout Page 1
1. Overview
The “Quick Checkout” configurations are designed to provide a small configuration that can
be used to easily verify the interconnections in a system. The configuration provides
monitoring of a few common J1939 parameters that are typically available in most heavy
duty equipment systems.
2. Configurations
The collection of configurations provides a file for each type of BridgeWay.
The specific parameters that are monitored in the configurations are listed in the Produced
and Consumed Parameter Data sections at the end of this document.
The following table lists the configuration files and the type of BridgeWay and controller
required by each.
Configuration File Description BW

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.

4. Quick Start Configuration NAME and Address
The J1939 NAME and address is set in the Quick Start configuration to allow the BridgeWay
to join the J1939 network with little probability of address contention with other devices.
The configuration uses Arbitrary Address capablility with 3 addresses.

5. Transmitted Parameter Data
The Quick Start configuration does not include any transmitted parameters.
6. Received Parameter Data
The following table lists the parameters that will be received by the Quick Start configuration along with the data table locations and register addresses
where the parameter data can be monitored by the various controllers.

The data table offsets are set up on 16-bit word boundaries to line up easily with Modbus register addresses. Parameter data that is less than 2 bytes in
length will be stored in the first byte of the word. Parameter data less than 1 byte in length will be stored in the low order bits of the first byte.
The parameter data will hold the last value that was received from the J1939 network. If the associated PGN message has not been received, the data will
remain at 0. (with the exception of Engine Hours)
The Engine Hours parameter is in a PGN that is not periodically broadcast; it must be requested. The Rx Timeout field has been set to 5 seconds, which
will be the time between requests for the data. If the data is not received within 5 seconds, the data will be set to 0xFFFFFFFF. This can be used as an
indication that the BridgeWay is not communicating with the ECU.
