J1708...a few questions

Mar 18, 2005 1 Replies

I'm choosing hardware for fleet tracking purposes, so here are the questions....



Is SAE 1708/1587 used in European trucks also?



If not, which standard is it?



If it is, connector is Deutsch 6 or 9 pins, right?


Thank you!


No, I know only Volvo which uses J1708 CAN (SAE J1939), ISO 9141 (K-Line) or CAN (ISO/TP 14229) is used in Europe for Trucks. The connector is different between the trucks. My company

have hardware which supports all the necessary busses(ISO9141, J1708 and CAN). There is an ActiveX component to access to the hardware. If you are interested please connect directly samtec, don't replay to my yahoo.de email address.
