Installation
If users want to start the GW-7228 normally, it needs to follow these steps to
install the GW-7228 below:

Step1: Check GW-7228 Firmware Mode

Users need to set the dip-switch to the “Normal” position as Figure 2 and reset

the power, and then the GW-7228 would run in the operation mode.

Figure 2: Operation mode Position of Dip-Switch

Step2: J1939 network - CAN bus connection

Connect the CAN ports with the GW-7228 modules and ECU (e.g. engine) in
J1939 network using the following structure as Figure 3.

Step3: Modbus network - Serial port connection

It is recommended to use only one serial port (RS232, RS422 or RS485) of

the gateway at the same time. The following figure describes the three COM port
types to a serial device via serial network.

Figure 4: Serial port wire connection

Step4: Power wire connection

Connect the power supply to the GW-7228 module’s power terminal

connecter, please see the following connection as Figure 5.

GW-7228 Utility Configuration
Modbus Network Configuration
The GW-7228 and the controller must be set the same serial communication
parameters of the Modbus network configuration. The Modbus network
configuration screen from GW-7228 is shown as Figure 6.

Figure 6: Modbus configuration screen

J1939 Network Configuration

The device NAME should be set according to the application and the vendor
where the module is being used based on the J1939 network specification.
The J1939 network configuration screen from the GW-7228 is shown
as Figure 7.

Figure 7: Modbus configuration screen

J1939 I/O Configuration
The following figure is a PGN definition about Electronic Transmission Controller,
we want to receive the Transmission Output Shaft Speed from the transmission
and send the Transmission Input Shaft Speed to the transmission via the GW-
7228. The following table shows the current planning.

Figure 8: Example of a parameter group definition of SAE J1939/71

 Upload Parameter to the GW-7228
After the previous parameter settings, users need to upload the parameters to the
GW-7228.

Modbus Communication

Set J1939 output data

Using the Modbus command as below:

FC16 Write multiple registers (4xxxx) for AO

Example:
In the address 40001, write the value in 0x1234.
[Request Command] (Byte0, Byte1... Byten) (Hex) 01
10 00 00 00 01 02 12 34 AB 27(CRC)
Get J1939 input data

Using the Modbus command as below:

FC4 Read multiple input registers (3xxxx) for AI

Example:
Read a value of one word in the address 30001.
[Request] (Byte0, Byte1... Byten) (Hex) 01
04 00 00 00 01 31 CA(CRC)

GW-7228 responds a value of one word in the address 30001.

[Response](Byte0, Byte1... Byten) (Hex) 01
04 02 12 34 B4 47(CRC)

Start or Stop sending J1939 output message

1、Using the Modbus command as below:

FC6 Write single register (4xxxx) for AO

Troubleshooting
Item Trouble state Solution
CAN Bus Transmission Fail Make sure the CAN bus wiring is connected, and
1
(Power LED Blink per 100 ms) connected to the correct pin.
CAN Bus-Off Make sure the CAN bus wiring does not short-circuit
2
(Power LED Blink per 500 ms)
Can not Claim Address in J1939 Please configure another J1939 network address in GW-
3 Network 7228 Utility.
(Power LED Blink per 1000 ms)
Can not transmit the output J1939 1. Make sure the Start/Stop sending J1939 output
message message register (42009) is 0x00.
4
2. Make sure the Update Rate of J1939 output message
table is not zero.

How to restore factory default 1. Power on the GW-7228

2. Change the Dip-Switch position of the GW-7228
and to complete the following steps in 5 seconds.
Step1. From “Normal” to “Init” position.
Step1 Step2. From “Init” to “Normal” position.
Step3. From “Normal” to “Init” position.
Step2 Step4. From “Init” to “Normal” position.
5 3. When the correct implementation of the above
steps, the J1939/Modbus LEDs of the GW-7228
Step3
should be turn on, and that should be turn off
after 500 ms later.
Step4 4. Reset the power of the GW-7228, and the GW-
7228 would back to factory defaults.
5. Reconnect the GW-7228 by using the network
setting as 115200 baud with none parity, 1 stop
bit and 1 Net ID.
