About this manual

The GW-7228 provides a gateway solution that converts data between J1939 and Modbus RTU networks. It supports PDU1, PDU2, broadcast and targeted J1939 messages, and operates as a Modbus RTU slave. The device includes LED indicators for power, J1939 and Modbus status, a built‑in watchdog, and selectable 120 Ω termination resistors.

The manual covers hardware wiring, CAN and serial port pin assignments, configuration of communication parameters via the GW‑7228 Utility, and detailed troubleshooting steps such as CAN bus failure indicators and factory reset procedures.
