    Figure 1: Example setup 1. Introduction The JS01 is designed for use in marine environments and provides a simple, effective way to integrate SAE J1939-compatible devices into an NMEA 2000® network. It enables the transmission of standard J1939 engine, transmission, and genset data onto the NMEA 2000 network, making critical engine information available throughout the vessel.
