Combining J1939 Data

[TugboatEng]

As a non-programmer, I have a need to combine data from four J1939 networks to create a total. I would like to use discrete modules that require minimal programming. Does anyone have any suggestions to combine J1939 networks so that a single analog output module can be used or do I need 4 analog output modules?

To combine data from four J1939 networks, you will need specialized hardware or software capable of collecting and aggregating the data. If you want to minimize programming, you are better off using off-the-shelf solutions such as analog output modules that support the J1939 protocol. However, if you plan to use discrete modules, you will have to develop a program to collect data from the four networks and then combine them.
