S6 —Technology of combining smart sensors and other IoT devices within one
wire network for monitoring of complex stationary and mobile objects: vehicles,
locomotives, smart homes, technological equipment etc. The technology is based
and expands SAE J1939 automotive standards.
Information on cabling system, service adapter and S6 software refer to
CAN j1939/S6 Operation manual.
CAN (Controller Area Network) —serial digital bus-type communication interface to comply
with ISO 11898-1:2003 International Standard.
Different high-level protocols can be used in the CAN bus to transmit data: J1939,
CANopen, DeviceNet, CAN Kingdom etc.
CAN bus is designed to unite various electronic executive units and sensors in the
automobile industry or industrial automation systems.
At present, the employment of CAN vehicle bus to receive data on the Vehicle in
GPS/GLONASS vehicle monitoring systems is of major interest.
FMS —Data packets of onboard vehicle data buses which comply with the
document “FMS-Standard Interface description” (FMS-Standard). FMS-Standard is
the open standard of the FMS interface designed by the world leading truck
producers.
A detailed description of FMS messages is contained in the document “FMS-Standard
Interface description” (FMS-Standard). The current version of the document can be
downloaded at the developing company site http://www.fms-standard.com.
OBD-II (On-board diagnostics) —the international standard of vehicle on-board diagnostics.
CAN and K-Line buses are used in the OBD-II to transmit data. Depending on the vehicle
manufacturer OBD-II employs protocols ISO 9141-2, ISO 14230 KWP 2000,
SAE J1850 VPW/PWM, ISO 15765-4 CAN.
OBD-II Standard provides access to parameters and codes of malfunctions of engine and
transmission control systems, enables to monitor the onboard computer data and carry out
diagnostics of the Vehicle onboard set of electronic control modules.
PGN (Parameter Group Number) —Is a combined group of S6 parameters, which has
common name and number. Functional modules (FM) of the Unit can have input/output
PGNs and setup PGNs.
SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) —Informational unit of S6. Each SPN has determined
name, number, extension, data type and numerical value. The following types of SPN exist:
Parameters, Counters, Events. SPN can have a qualifier which allows qualification of
parameter’s value (e.g. –Onboard power supply limit/Minimum).
Onboard equipment (OE) —Telematics system elements, directly installed in Vehicle.

CAN j1939/S6 Telematic interface is an interface designed by Technoton on the basis of
CAN (SAE J1939). CAN j1939/S6 Telematic interface is a hardware/software set designed to
collect and integrate data from standard and additional Vehicle Onboard Equipment into the
Telematic System while receiving data from one or several CAN buses; also to configure and
provide power supply for telematic sensors.
Please, see animated video to get the idea of CAN j1939/S6 interface advantages compared
to the traditional telematic architecture.
The architecture of CAN j1939/S6 Telematic interface is built on the basis of the unified
cable system, physical interfaces and protocols:
CAN 2.0B physical interface is used to transmit data;
Data exchange via CAN bus is determined by the Data Link layer of the protocol, in
accordance with SAE J1939/21 Standard;
Parameters, structure and contents of data are determined by the application level of
the protocol, in accordance with SAE J1939/71 protocol and S6 Database.
Telematics terminal (Tracking device) is a unit of Telematics System used for reading the
signals of Vehicle standard and additional sensors, getting location data and transmitting
the data to the Server.
Telematics system —complex solution for vehicle monitoring in real time and trip analysis.
The main monitored characteristics of the vehicle: Route, Fuel consumption, Working time,
technical integrity, Safety. In includes On-board report, Communication channels,
Telematics service ORF 4.
Vehicle an object controlled within Telematic system. Usually Vehicle means a truck, tractor
or bus, sometimes a locomotive or river boat. From Telematic system point of view,
stationary objects are also considered to be Vehicles: diesel gensets, stationary tanks,
boilers/burners.
Function module (FM) unit-embedded component of hardware and software combination,
executing a group of special functions. Uses input/output PGNs and settings PGNs.
Unit is an element of vehicle on-board equipment compatible with S6 bus, which uses
S6 Technology.
