Moxa MGATE 5118 - 1-port CAN-J1939 to Modbus/PROFINET/EtherNet/IP gateways

The industrial protocol gateways MGate 5118 support the SAE J1939 protocol, which is based on the CAN bus (Controller Area Network). SAE J1939 is used for communication and diagnostics between vehicle components, diesel engine generators, and compression engines, making it suitable for the heavy-duty industry and emergency power systems. It is common today to use an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to manage this type of equipment, and more applications are utilizing PLCs for process automation to monitor the status of J1939 devices connected behind the ECU.

The MGate 5118 gateways facilitate the conversion of J1939 data into Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET protocols to support most PLC applications. Devices that support the J1939 protocol can be monitored and controlled by PLC and SCADA systems that utilize Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols. With the MGate 5118, you can use the same gateway in a variety of PLC environments.

The J1939 protocol was designed to retrieve a wide range of data from CAN-J1939 devices. To avoid manually entering all J1939 commands into the gateway, MGate 5118 gateways can automatically recognize the output commands used by the CAN device. With a single click in the web console, all output commands from your CAN device are automatically detected by the gateway. The commands are displayed in the command list of the web console and can then be modified by the user as needed. The MGate 5118 gateways make it much easier for users to connect PLCs with CAN devices.

The MGate 5118 gateways support a web console for easy configuration and maintenance, and the built-in traffic monitoring function monitors the...
