Dearborn Protocol Adapter III/i (DPA III/i)
|
Part Number: DG-DPAIII/i Our DPA III/i is a simple ASCII RS-232 interface that you can easily connect to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Personal Computers (PCs) and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), such as Palm Pilot. Sending simple ASCII commands through the RS-232 port tells the DPA III/i to transmit or receive vehicle network messages. With its ruggedized metal enclosure and wide operating voltage range, the DPA III/i has a high reliability rate with thousands deployed in the field. |
Supported Protocols and APIs: CAN (canbus), GMLAN, J1587, J1708, J1850 GM (Class 2), J1850 Ford (SCP), J1939, J1979, J2284.
Note: Single-wire CAN (J2411) is available as an option.
