CANbus Analyser-Simulator

MasterCAN Tool – CANbus Analyser and Simulator for J1939 & Telematics Development

The MasterCAN Tool is a powerful, compact software-and-hardware CANbus analyser and simulator.  Designed for professionals working with SAE J1939, S6 Technology, and vehicle telematics systems. Whether you’re developing onboard equipment, diagnosing electronic control units (ECUs), or integrating custom telematics solutions, the MasterCAN Tool provides the insight, control, and emulation capabilities needed to streamline your workflow.

🧰 What Is the MasterCAN Tool?

The MasterCAN Tool is a diagnostic and simulation device that enables engineers and programmers to:

• Monitor and parse real-time CANbus traffic (SAE J1939)

• Emulate and test PGN/SPN messages

• Configure and validate telematics interfaces using S6 Technology

• Diagnose and identify ECU faults (DTCs)

• Log, analyse, and replay CAN messages for development or field troubleshooting

It supports both contactless (via CANCrocodile) and direct cable connections (OBD-II, J1939, CW), offering flexible deployment across a wide range of vehicle and industrial applications.

Software

MasterCAN Tool Software Overview

The MasterCAN Tool software lets you monitor and analyse data from the CANbus (SAE J1939), depending on which model you choose. Using the Monitor tab, you can see real-time information from received PGNs, including all SPN values. This gives you a clear, detailed view of your system’s performance and helps you troubleshoot issues using S6 Technology.

The Imitator tab allows users to transmit PGNs from a predefined list directly into the CANbus (SAE J1939) or via S6 Technology, facilitating testing and emulation of specific communication scenarios.

In the PGN editors for S6, J1939, and telematics data sets, SPN numeric values can be easily modified, allowing users to customise and simulate various parameters for testing purposes.

The RAW tab is designed to create and transmit user (test) PGN to CAN bus or using S6 Technology and to monitor and carry out detailed analysis of user (test) and all other PGN received from Units using S6 Technology or from CAN bus with a possibility to view their ID (CAN_ID) and raw data (DATA).
