Product Usage Instructions
1. Configuration
To configure the FMB640 for CAN messaging:
-
Access the configuration settings on the device.
-
Select the CAN message ID type as Standard ID or Extended
ID. -
Enter the Message ID value in HEX format.
-
Select the required bytes for Output Data Mask.
-
Save the configuration settings.
2. Connecting to CAN Bus
To connect the FMB640 module to the CAN bus:
-
Identify the compatible vehicles and parameters.

Introduction
Controller Area Network (CAN or CAN-bus) is a computer network protocol and
bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate
with each other and without a host computer. It was designed specifically for
automotive applications but is now also used in other areas.
SAE J1939 and J1708 is the vehicle bus standard used for communication and
diagnostics among vehicle components. Based on the same architecture FMS
protocol dedicated to telematics systems is available. It has certain
standardized parameters available, such as fuel consumption, engine work-
hours, etc. Please visit http://www.fms-standard.com/ for more information and
message structure.
The FMS-interface is an optional interface of different truck manufacturers.
Supporting information is dependent upon vehicle equipment. For the full
information set, additional Electronic Control Units (ECU) may be required.
Please contact the manufacturer or your dealer for more details.
Vehicle brands supported:
Mercedes Benz Volvo MAN DAF Iveco Scania Renault
Available parameters:
Total Fuel Total Distance Status of brake pedal Engine Torque Actual fuel
Accelerator pedal position Status engine brake
Speed RPM Engine hours Vehicle Weight Fuel level Tachograph data
Availability of parameter depends on vehicle’s model and configuration of the FMS interface of the truck.
J1708 is an additional FMS protocol used by some vehicle manufacturers. If
your vehicle supports J1939 and J1708 both protocols then you must disable
J1708 in configuration to receive fuel data.
General description
Uses six different speeds: 50 kbps, 100 kbps, 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps,
1000kbps; Auto Baud rate detection; Filtering messages (StId, ExtId) according
to configuration; Using mask, filters required bytes; Different CAN
configurations.
Configuration
FMB640 has 70 configurable Manual CAN elements.
CAN message ID type: Message ID type two types according to SAEJ1939 standard:
Standard ID (value: 0 to 0x7FFh) and Extended ID (value: 0 to 0x1FFFFFFFh).
Message ID value is entered in HEX format. This parameter is used to configure
the hardware message filter. All messages contain 8 bytes of data, to select
particular data/bytes “Output Data Mask” is used, it’s done by ticking the
required bytes, only selected bytes are sent to the server.
Example: A sample CAN message has the following structure:
X18FEE9018FFFFFFFF23840300, where essential parts are FEE9 identifier and
FFFFFFFF23840300 data bytes.
CAN messages are configured like any other I/O parameters. They consist of 4
identifier bytes and 8 data bytes. Below you will find a sample configuration
for fuel consumption parameter:
ID type is always 29 bits. Output data mask defines which data bytes are
sent to the server (sometimes not all data bytes are necessary). CAN ID this
is 4 byte identifier. Messages use 4 bytes, but the first and last bytes may
differ in different vehicle models while the middle four bytes are the same
for all vehicles. The first and last bytes may have any value. Because of this
reason, it is recommended to write FF in the first byte and the same in the
last byte.
Example
All Mercedes Benz Actros 2 models with Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
starting with WDB93 have a possibility to connect FMB640 module to the CAN
bus. This can be done by connecting to a special PSM module (which may or may
not be included in the truck) or ground module of the vehicle. For the CAN
signal to be available, parameter 520 must be enabled in
“kommunikationsschnittstelle” in the vehicle with Mercedes Stardiagnose.
CAN wires can be found on the X5 connector located in the fuse box:
PIN 5: CAN Low signal (yellow wire) PIN 2: CAN High signal (blue wire)
In the example FMB640 will filter all CAN messages with identifier FFFEE9FF
(fuel consumption).
Note: Averaging constant cannot be used with CAN data, because this information comes in digital format. So in order to prevent data loss, set Averaging constant parameter to 1.
Most parameters have a certain resolution. FEE9 parameter has 0.5L/bit gain, so the value that is sent to the server has to be multiplied by 0.5.
Data parsing is preceded by selecting the correct message from all available on the CAN bus. FMS standard interface description indicates that fuel consumption is a parameter with ID FEE9:
