3. The J1939 Standards Collection


The “SAE Truck and Bus Control & Communications Network Standards Manual – 2007 Edition” is a colossal work of roughly 1600 pages where about 1000 pages refer to data such as Parameter Group Assignments, Address and Identify Assignments, Parameter Group Numbers, and more.

This web site, based on the intention to merely explain the J1939 protocol features, does not include these data as of now.

While the “SAE Truck and Bus Control & Communications Network Standards Manual – 2007 Edition” combines all standards as listed here in one work, it seems that the individual standard descriptions were developed independently from each other. There is no noticeable system to standardize the standards. Most documents provide a table of contents, some of them do not. Some standards repeat information from others or refer to others. The page numbering is also inconsistent with the table of contents that exist.
