The DAWN OBD and J1939 Mini Logger™ is a compact, robust, data logger designed to acquire CAN data from trucks, buses, cars, and off-road vehicles. Options that fit within the logger include GPS, a tri-axial accelerometer and either WiFi or GSM cellular. The logger acquires all of the in-vehicle network CAN parameters or a user-defined subset.
The logger installs within a minute by simply inserting it directly onto the J1939 or J1962 (OBD-II) connector. The logger is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand.
Applications include fuel economy, idle time, driver behavior, intermittent problems, engine hours, miles driven, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), PTO usage, fuel theft, estimating emissions, road grade, and vehicle weight. The Mini Logger aids in product development, service, and fleet management. The optional DAWN Dashboard will alert you when conditions occur that you deem as important.
The companion DawnEdit™ software determines which parameters are available on the vehicle to create a unique database for each vehicle model. The user selects the desired parameters and sample rate. The user can add custom messages to acquire proprietary parameters.
The logger can acquire from three CAN networks simultaneously. It acquires PIDs, PGNs, Normal CAN custom messages, and enhanced OBD (EOBD/service) data. J1939 vehicle networks usually have all the necessary parameters available; however, light-duty and many medium-duty vehicles don’t use the J1939 standard. To address this limitation, HEM Data offers EOBD databases relating parameters of interest to the transmitted messages on the network. Optional EOBD databases include Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda.
HEM Data offers Mini ADAQ™ (analog-to-CAN) modules for applications requiring your own sensors. Besides sensor inputs, the ADAQ modules accept a variety of temperature (type J, K, T thermocouples & thermistor), digital, frequency, PWM, current and inclination inputs. The Mini Logger stores data generated by the ADAQ and can transfer data via cellular or WiFi to a website, PC or mobile application. All data from the ADAQ, CAN network and GPS are combined into a single CSV file.
