Description

SAE J1708 is a standard used for serial communications between ECUs on heavy-duty. The hardware utilized is RS-485 transceivers wired for open collector operation through the use of a pullup and pulldown of the separate data lines.

With FMM640, J1708 functionality is used to read vehicle's Fuel Level and Fuel consumption.

Because J1708 is not a CAN-BUS protocol, FMM640 CAN1 and CAN2 lines cannot be used to read J1708 information. FMM640 has a special J1708 Port, which utilizes an RJ9 4P4C connector.
