Scania’s interface for FMS standard messages is connector C137. C137 is coloured
green and is located on the passenger side, behind the central electric unit in the in-
strument panel. The twisted CAN cable is blue and white. CAN-low is connected to
pin 9, CAN-high is connected to pin 6.

Note:
According to section 5.2.1 SAE J1939-21, revised version July 1998, priority bits in
message identifiers must be filtered out and ignored by the receivers.
Load guidelines
Control units connected to a CAN bus must be able to handle up to 100% CAN bus
load with the correct messages with no significant functional limitations or malfunc-
tions.
Under normal circumstances the CAN bus load should never exceed 80%.
Avoid closing control loops over the CAN because the guaranteed access time is rel-
atively long and fast control loops require a lot of bandwidth. If closed control loops
over the CAN are still required, then they must be fully capable of sending the nec-
essary CAN messages using only half the transmission frequency.
The FMS-CAN network’s topology is mainly a CAN bus with the nodes connected C137 ECU X

If more than one control unit is connected, the length of the cables that connect the
control unit to the CAN bus should not exceed 3 metres. The cables should be as
short as possible to minimise the effect of electromagnetic interference.

A number of different systems can be connected to the cable harness for the body-
work’s FMS-CAN network. Certain systems are fitted with an internal termination
resistor and others are unterminated. Depending on which systems that are connected
to the FMS-CAN bus, a 120 Ohm termination resistor must be fitted in the FMS con-
trol unit in the bodywork (ECU X). If the FMS control unit in the bodywork is not
equipped with an internal termination resistor, an external termination resistor must
be connected as close to the FMS control unit as possible, see illustration.
During normal operation, when the starter key is in the drive position, a message
should not be validated as missed (time-out) until at least 5 x the message period
time. A longer fault validation time is permitted.
During the engine start sequence, when the starter motor is turning, the supply volt-
age can be extremely low. Because of this, FMS-CAN communication cannot be
guaranteed during this sequence. For this reason, no fault codes related to FMS-CAN
communication should be set when the system voltage is lower than 18 V.
When the starter key is turned to the drive position, the FMS control unit starts send-
ing CAN messages within 10,000 ms. A message cannot be considered missed until
after 10,000 ms + 5 x the message period time. Example: If a message has a period
time of 100 ms it cannot be considered missed until after 10,000 + 5 x 100 =
10,500 ms. Longer fault validation times are permitted.
Source addresses
The source addresses in the table are used for messages sent from Scania’s FMS-
CAN bus to the bodywork’s FMS-CAN bus via connector C137. The addresses in
the table must not be used by any other control unit in the bodywork’s FMS-CAN
network. Incorrect use can lead to conflicts and malfunctions in the FMS-CAN net-
work.
Note:
The table shows the addresses currently in use, but addresses may be added in the
future.
