Has anyone developed code to communicate with caterpillar CCM modules?

[Anonymous]

I am currently developing software in Labview 6.0 to monitor
Caterpillar C30 Marine diesel engines. Caterpillar has a Customer
Communication module (CCM) that converts J1939 bus information to
RS-485. Has anyone developed code for this purpose?

Hello,

If you only want to capture data from your RS485 port, communicate through Datasockets.

or you can use a RS-485 to RS-232 converter and Address to a RS232 port, such as COM1, then you use VISA to communicate via RS232 using ASRL1::INSTR.

National Instruments sells RS485 board that that plugs into a PCI slot:

I hope this helps.
