Maximum Time 
The meaning of this field is dependent on the Control type. If the Control type is Send Data then this field means 
how often the message is transmitted out from the DVC controller and DVC80. If the Control type is Receive 
Data then this field means how often the message is expected to be received. Error indications will occur if 
these times are exceeded. 
Range: 10ms to 10seconds. 
PDU Format (PF) 
The PF field identifies one of two PDU formats able to be transmitted (PDU1 or PDU2). PDU Formats are 
described in the SAE J1939/21, Section 3.3. 
Range: 0 to 255 
PDU Specific (PS) 
The meaning of this field is dependent on the value of PF. If the PF value is between 0 and 239 (PDU1), this PS 
field contains a destination address. If the PF field is between 240 and 255 (PDU2), the PS field contains a 
Group 
Extension (GE) to the PDU Format. The Group Extension provides a larger set of values to identify messages, 
which can be broadcast to all ECUs on the network. 
Range: 0 to 255 
Priority 
The Priority field assigns how important the message is to be processed. The highest priority is 0 and lowest 
priority is 7. (This field is not needed when “Control” type is “Receive Data”) 
Range: 0 to 7 
Data Length 
Data Length is the length of the message in bytes. 
Range: 1 to 8 
Byte # Name 
Byte Name is the suffix of the name to access a byte in Bubble Logic. For instance 
eec1.status_eec1 would be used to access byte 1 of the defined message EEC1 
shown here. 
Range: 16 Alpha/Numeric characters only with no spaces. 
DVC80 Program Variables 
Name.NORSP  True when a message has not been received in the 
 “Maximum Time” period 
Name.Byte#Name  Set/Get the current value of that byte of the J1939 
 CAN message 
Range: 0 to 255 
Name.disable    True will prevent messages from being sent. This variable 
defaults to false. 
Name.srcaddr    Message that are sent from the DVC7/10 will have this number as the J1939 
      source address. If this value is 0 (the default) the source address will be the 
 DVC80 macid value.
