CSS ElectronicsModel SAE J1939 -DBC File for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

SHARE

The SAE J1939 DBC file provides essential decoding rules for converting raw J1939 data from heavy-duty vehicles into understandable physical values. It supports a wide range of J1939-based software and API tools, offering broad compatibility with various vehicle makes and models. The DBC includes over 1800 Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs) and more than 12000 Suspect Parameter Numbers (SPNs). Providing a legal license based on the J1939 Digital Annex Excel file, it simplifies integration into vehicle data analysis processes. While it covers most standard J1939 signals, users may need to address manufacturer-specific proprietary PGNs manually. The package aims to minimize the complexity and time required for manual DBC file construction, enhancing efficiency for automotive engineers and analysts. Support for multiplexed messages is provided in a simplified format, with the option for future updates based on demand.
