**J1939**

What is J1939?

SAE J1939 is a set of standards defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus used for communication and diagnostics among vehicle components, specifically in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and construction equipment. It defines how control units communicate using a common language, enabling interoperability between different manufacturers' components like engines, transmissions, and braking systems. This allows for standardized diagnostics, control, and data exchange across the vehicle.

J1939 Competitor Technologies

CANopen
CANopen
CANopen is another higher-layer protocol based on CAN, primarily used in industrial automation. While it shares the CAN bus with J1939, it's an alternative protocol with different addressing schemes and functionalities.
J1708
J1708
J1708 is an older serial communication standard that was often used in heavy-duty vehicles prior to the widespread adoption of CAN-based protocols like J1939. It is largely superseded by J1939.
ISO14230
ISO14230
No summary available
ISO 14230 (Keyword Protocol 2000 or KWP2000) is an automotive diagnostic protocol. It's an alternative to other diagnostic protocols like UDS and overlaps in functionality with J1939 diagnostics.
J1587
J1587
No summary available
J1587 is another older serial communication standard used in heavy-duty vehicles, often alongside J1708. Like J1708, it has been largely replaced by CAN-based systems like J1939.
LIN
LIN
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a lower-cost serial communication protocol often used for less critical functions in vehicles. It can be used in conjunction with J1939, but serves different roles, with J1939 covering the more critical systems.
KWP2000
KWP2000
Keyword Protocol 2000 is an automotive diagnostic protocol, an alternative to other diagnostic protocols like UDS, and therefore overlaps in functionality with J1939 diagnostics.
G
GMLAN
No summary available
GMLAN is a General Motors proprietary CAN-based network protocol. While it uses CAN as a base, it's a different implementation with different addressing schemes, and as such is a competitor.
