Engine Monitoring System features J1708/J1587 support.
Engine Monitoring System features J1708/J1587 support.
June 17, 2008 -
Combining GPS, GSM, CDMA cellular or satellite modem, and CANbus or J1708/J1587 communication, Messenger monitoring, reporting, and alarm notification system uses serial port to monitor Parameter Identification (PID) using J1587 protocol. Data values are extracted from PID, used in calculations, compared to limits, and passed to Internet-based applications. Housed in watertight enclosure, Messenger connects to diagnostic port on diesel engine-based equipment using 6-conductor connector.

AUSTIN, TEXAS... Antx, a leading provider of real-time monitoring, control and alarm notification systems has added support for J1708/J1587 vehicle reports to the highly successful Messenger engine monitoring, reporting and alarm notification system. The Messenger is an industrial monitoring system that combines, GPS, GSM, CDMA cellular or Satellite modem, and either CANbus or now J1708/J1587 communication.
The Messenger uses one of its standard serial ports to monitor Parameter IDentification (PIDs) using the J1587 protocol. Individual data values are extracted from each PID, used in calculations, compared to limits and passed to Internet-based applications, using one of the supported wireless or serial communication paths. Communication to the Messenger is bi-directional, allowing users to make modifications to the monitoring capabilities of the Messenger over-the-air (OTA).
Enclosed in a Deutsch industrial water-tight enclosure, the Messenger is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Typical monitored conditions are: diagnostic messages, rpm, engine hours, odometer, oil and coolant temperatures and pressures, location and fuel level. Sample computed values that are reported include: engine service interval and daily run time. Unique features of the Messenger include continuous comparison to 2 sets of limits for each condition monitored, exception-based and time-based reporting, real-time operating system, extreme low power mode based on user-defined conditions like no RPM and OTA remote configuration changes.
Equipped with cables, the Messenger connects directly to the diagnostic port on diesel engine-based equipment using the 6-conductor Deutsch connector. The Messenger can report to Internet applications on a time-basis, speed change, course change, RPM change and on user-defined events, like receipt of a diagnostic message, or fuel level at 25%.
Users can change the Messenger's operation either locally via a serial connection, or remotely over-the-air via GSM, CDMA or now via Satellite.
"Ease of deployment, installation, and maintenance make the Messenger an ideal solution for monitoring today's diesel engine-based equipment." says Stephen Allen, President of Antx. "The Messenger simply plugs into the diagnostic port on your diesel equipment and starts transmitting the specified information in the specified format to an Internet-based application. For support personnel, the Messenger provides instantaneous notification of diagnostic messages from in-the-field equipment, dramatically reducing the time to get support where it is needed - even before the end-user knows there is a problem."
Target markets for the Messenger include heavy duty construction & agricultural vehicles, compressors, generators, pump systems, and all diesel engine-based systems supporting J1708/J1587.
Antx provides a complete line of products for remote monitoring applications from low-cost landline-based to cellular systems capable of monitoring hundreds of unique conditions. Based in Austin Texas Antx has an installed base of over 50,000 monitoring installations and 2,000 customers.
