Communication Interface to ECU - Genset Engine >1MW
Communication Interface to ECU - Genset Engine >1MW
(OP)
Hi all,
do you know which kind of communication interface and protocol is used for diesel & gas engines >=1MW ?
I am interested in reading operating parameters. (E.g. temperatures etc)
Following systems are in focus:
MWM (ADEC)
Wärtsilä (WECS)
MAN (SACOS)
MTU
Thank you for any input !
Regards
Thomas

They might have a CANBus interface that conforms with either SAEJ1939 or CANOpen, but they might not. Temperatures as operating parameters would also depend on whether or not instrumentation to measure the parameter is connected to the ECU, again, not all of them do.

I know J1939 for automotive applications and of course mapping of some specific parameters is different.
So for implementation mapping will be required...
But my first question is just to find out which types of interface are established.
So if anyone has a hint please let me know.
