Many hundreds have been deployed for ECU development and testing worldwide for over nine years. Silicon Engines 9141 Converters have been used in development projects for GM Truck, Ford vehicles, Rover, Opel, SAAB, Mitsubishi, and many others.

The 9141 Converter provides level conversion between ISO-9141 and RS-232, for connection to a PC. It converts the half-duplex ISO-9141 line to full-duplex RS-232 signals. The 9141 Converter contains a built-in power supply operating from a 12 VDC automotive battery or equivalent line-powered DC source.

Features

• Compatible with ISO-9141 diagnostic bus
• For 12V automotive systems
• PC handles all ISO-9141 software
• Includes DB9 cable to connect to PC RS-232 port

The 14230 Converter connects to a personal computer over an RS-232 serial link running at the standard PC baud rate of 19,200 bps. It contains a built-in microcontroller that handles ISO-14230 initialization programmable for either 5-baud, or fast initialization. Once the connected ECU has been initialized, the 14230 Converter communicates with the ECU at 10,400 bps, and with the PC at 19,200 bps.

The 14230 Converter optionally supports the L-line, during initialization, as well as the K-line. It contains a programmable load resistor and wide-range power supply, allowing operation at either 12 VDC or 24 VDC in accordance with ISO-14230 specifications.

The 14230 Converter comes with a PC program that allows you to initialize a connected ECU, to send messages using the ISO-14230 protocol, and to receive messages. While not a complete ISO-14230 protocol stack, this PC software greatly eases the task of developing and testing a Keyword Protocol 2000 ECU.

The 14230-OBD cable connects the Model 9009 converter to a standard J1962 diagnostic connector.

• Use the 14230-OBD cable to connect to a standard J1962 diagnostic connector

The LIN/RS-232 Converter connects to a personal computer over an RS-232 serial link running at the standard PC baud rate of 38,400 bps. It contains a built-in microcontroller that handles the LIN protocol. The LIN baud rate is programmable from 1000 to 20,000 bps. The LIN/RS-232 Converter does baud rate conversion between 38,400 bps to and from the PC, and the selected LIN baud rate.

The PC and the LIN/RS-232 Converter serve as the LIN bus master. This product does not support LIN slave emulation.
