S6 —is the vehicle onboard data bus developed by JV Technoton to enable
integrating the GPS/GLONASS-based vehicle monitoring system into the
vehicle electrical equipment. It comprises a set of cables, interfaces and
protocols. Physically, it is based on CAN 2.0B (ISO 11898-1:2003) and K-Line
(ISO 9141). S6 bus data exchange protocol complies with SAE J1939 International
Standard.

Telematics interface S6 operation manual contains guidelines and rules which refer to S6
cabling system, S6 SK service kit and service software for S6 Telematics Interface
PGN (Parameter Group Number) —is a combined group of S6 parameters, which has
common name and number. Functional Modules (FM) of the Unit can have input/output
PGNs and setup PGNs.
SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) —informational unit of S6. Each SPN has determined
name, number, extension, data type and numerical value. The following types of SPN exist:
Parameters, Counters, Events. SPN can have a qualifier which allows qualification of
parameter’s value (e.g. – Onboard power supply limit/Minimum).
J1708 is a digital bus-type interface. Bus J1708 is used in some modern vehicles to
transmit and exchange data between the engine controller and other electronic devices. The
level of data presentation complies with SAE J1587 International Standard.
FMS are data packets of vehicles’digital onboard interfaces (further
on
vehicles) that comply with the document FMS-Standard Interface
Description (further on —FMS-Standard).
FMS-Standard is an open FMS
Interface Standard developed by world leading
truck manufacturers.
More detailed description of FMS messages is described in FMS-Standard Interface
description document. Actual version of the document can be downloaded from the web site
of developer http://www.fms-standard.com.
Telematics —special set of telematics messages developed by Technoton. Meets
requirements of SAE J1939/71 standards. Telematics messages contain important operation
parameters of vehicle.
Onboard equipment (OE) —Telematics System Elements, directly installed in vehicle.
Telematics terminal (Tracking device) is a unit of Telematics System used for reading the
signals of Vehicle standard and additional sensors, getting location data and transmitting
the data to the Server.
Telematics system —complex solution for real-time and after trip vehicle monitoring and
control. Main vehicle parameters monitored: route, fuel consumption, operation time,
technical condition of vehicle, safety. Consists of OE, Communication channels, Telematics
service ORF 4.
Vehicle —an object controlled within Telematic system. Usually Vehicle means a truck,
tractor or bus, sometimes a locomotive or river boat. From Telematic system point of view,
stationary objects are also considered to be vehicles: diesel gensets, stationary tanks,
boilers/burners.
Unit —an element of Onboard Equipment of Vehicle, which is connected to Telematics
Interface S6.
