CAN/J1939 Interface
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The EPM is compatible with CAN bus standard for digital
networks and uses the SAE J1939 communications protocol.
CEN uses MIL-STD connector MS3112E12-10P to interface
between the EPM and the DPA adapter used to monitor the
broadcast messages on the CAN bus line. The readouts of
these messages are shown in Table 2 for the EPM.
