CAN/J1939 Interface
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The CEN N3221, N3229, and N3232 digital regulators
are compatible with SAE J1939 communications stan-
dard for vehicle networking.
CEN uses MIL-STD connector MS3112E12-10P to inter-
face between the regulator and the vehicle J1939 data-
bus. Mating connector is MS3116E12-10S or equivalent.
If this connection is not used, it must be sealed with
connector cap and chain MS3181-12CA or equivalent-
supplied with all regulators. Connector pinout is shown
in Table 2. Message content is shown in Table 4.
