Foreword
This document has also changed to comply with the SAE Technical Standards Board format. Definitions
have changed to Section 3 and Abbreviations to Section 4. All other section numbers have changed
accordingly. This series of SAE Recommended Practices has been developed by the SAE Truck and
Bus Control and Communications Network Subcommittee of the SAE Truck and Bus Electrical and
Electronics Committee. The objectives of the subcommittee are to develop information reports,
recommended practices, and standards concerned with the requirements design and usage of devices
which transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. The usage of these
documents is not limited to truck and bus applications; other applications may be accommodated with
immediate support being provided for construction and agricultural equipment, and stationary power
systems. These documents are intended as a guide toward standard practice and are subject to change
as to keep pace with experience and technical advances.
New parameters and parameter groups are reviewed and discussed by the Subcommittee on a regular
basis. This document reflects all changes and additions approved and balloted through December 2001.
