As electrical systems grow in size and sophistication, designing heavy duty vehicles is becoming even more of a challenge. SAE has defined a standard for the interoperability of on-board communication networks, J1939, supporting heavy equipment. The adoption of this standard enables tractors, trailers and accessories to connect together without customization.
This paper will discuss how the Siemens Capital software suite of tools can be used to generatively design the electrical and electronic (E/E) systems of heavy equipment from the E/E architecture definition, revolutionizing the vehicle E/E design process. This process can utilize the standard library of signals and messages from the SAE J1939 standard, the defined functions, and E/E architecture to generate the E/E design.
Read the white paper to learn more about how the use of Siemens Capital Systems tools for SAE J1939 network design removes the manual file exchange and copy/paste tasks from system design for off-highway vehicles.
