Hello Mr. Murrof, 

i'm facing the same problem, i'm building a project with a ET200SP, Tia Portal 14, this projet is being instaled on a truck, and i want to read data from the Eletronic Control Unit, i tried with a pnJ1939 Module wich doesnt work out because i needed information from the manufactor that they wont facilitate, so 'm tryng with a PN/CAN link but as you, i dont have a EDS file.

It worked for you with the transparent mode? can sameone tell me if this way i can read serveral PGN?

tank you for your help

 Hello AutoGen,

Can you confirm whether Electronic Control unit supports

• J1939
• CanOpen
• General Can

In the case it is J1939 than usage of Siemens gateway pn/J1939 link module6 BK1623-0AA00-0AA0 should be exactly what do you need. You have mentioned you are missing EDS file from the manufacturer side. Have you tried to contact them, send them an email or...? 

Even without EDS file you can enter data manually into the parameter i/o fields inside HW configuration. Can you share with us what were your error codes or error messages? I recommend you usage of some Can Analyzer directly on your PC.  Something like this for an example Can 2 USB adapter . 

It comes with Analyzer software and it gives you ability to track all the message frames in between you and device, also there is possibility to send into CAN network any message frame you construct, therefor it is possible to find out manufacturer data which I stored usually as EDS file. 

In the case it is About General Can or CanOpen protocol than for sure you need different Siemens module. In that case take a read on following post : Can/CanOpen Siemens modules 

No matter what protocol is all about, no matter what gateway you choice, in all cases EDS file would be recommended, but not necessary.

Hello mr Soble

I have pretty shure that it is J1939,

I have the two Can Open modules( PN/J1939 LINK (6BK1623-0AA00-0AA0)/ and PN/CAN LINK (6BK16203-0AA00-0AA0)),

I've tried with the first with no success beacause i have the ECU Name missing, and therefore is not possible to to end the configuration,

I haven't tried with the PN/CAN module, but i dont have great expetation on this one because as far as i know the comunicartion methode is the same but the J1939 has its own structure,

So i'm kind of lost a this point and dont kown wich course should i follow , and in addiction to the fact that i dont have the truck on my facilitie and i have to travel 400 km to try anything new.

Mr, Soble are you aware if there is any other way to get the ECU name ?? throught some module or anything??

Or do you know same one whos been through the same process(comunication with trucks)?? that ca help me??

i apreciate your help thank you for your time 

Hello AutoGen,

If it is a case of J1939 than module pn/CAN won't help you out, and modeule pn(j1939 is all you need.

Have you take a look of the following document : Simatic pn/J1939

There you can find structure of J1939 device name, The device name is a numeric 64-bit value.

Parameters or the corresponding device name are configured in the TIA Portal. All necessary information should have been entered from manufacturer itself. Based on that contact your device manufacturer or visit its website for further missing information.

Best Regards Soble

gracias por sus respuestas, 

tambien estoy en el mismo caso del compañero, eh intentado varias formas adquirir los datos del motor diesel electronico pero no eh tenido exito, no se si usted a podido conectarse
