STW Adds Video on J1939 MO1-CAN Sensor and MO1 CANfigurator to Online Series of Training Videos

NORCROSS, Ga. - July 30, 2013 - PRLog -- STW Adds Video on J1939 MO1-CAN Sensor and MO1 CANfigurator to Online Series of Training Videos for Off-Highway Controls Engineers

Norcross, Ga. STW Technic, a premier manufacturer of mobile controllers and measurement technology, today announced the addition of a new training video on how to configure a J1939 MO1-CAN sensor using the PC-based MO1 CANfigurator tool to their online series of training videos for engineers working with off-highway controllers.

The addition of the new video follows closely on STW’s highly successful launch last month of complimentary online training videos for engineers working with CANbus in the CoDeSys development environment for off-highway controllers.

Engineers can register on the STW website at http://www.stw-technic.com/video/ to watch the videos.

The new video covers how to connect and configure a J1939 MO1-CAN sensor with the MO1 CANfigurator software. It starts with an overview of the features of the J1939 MO1-CAN sensor. It then takes the viewer through a detailed step by step overview on how to configure it with the MO1 CANfigurator software. The M01-CAN Canfigurator software runs on a standard PC and connects to the sensor with a USB-CAN dongle.

The initial series of videos covered typical configuration, development and troubleshooting questions that engineers have in using CANbus controllers with KEFEX Winflash or the 3S development environment CoDeSys. Topics include configuration, operation and gateway login. There is also a separate video that covers common problems in the set-up of CoDeSys V3. The videos are between 5 to 15 minutes long.

Says Bob Geiger, President, STW, “We have had great feedback on our training videos from the STW community. The new video continues our commitment to share resources and best practices on our website for engineers working with off-highway vehicles and with CANbus controllers. We hope that this video and the whole series will help engineers researching J1939 MO1-CAN sensors and working with the MO1 CANfigurator software tool.”

The video website will be frequently updated based on feedback from the community. The company invites engineers to use the ‘Ask Us’ of ‘Contact Us’ sections of the website to provide feedback and suggestions on topics they would like to see covered. (http://www.stw-technic.com/contact-us/)

The videos are part of a larger effort by STW to share resources and best practices with the engineering community. The resources leverage STW’s many years of experience in working with a wide array of industry leaders in mining, agriculture, construction, oil and gas and transportation, and include industry specific papers around off-highway controls technology and telematics.
