The Dearborn Protocol Adapter 5 (DPA 5) from DG Technologies is a rugged dual CAN RP1210/J2534 vehicle datalink adapter that supports most OEM RP1210 and J2534 diagnostic/reflashing applications.

From inception to deployment, the DPA 5 was built for speed-critical applications such as End-Of-Line (EOL) programming stations and the re-flashing of Electronic Control Units/Modules (ECUs/ECMs). This means significantly reduced reprogramming and diagnostic sessions, leading to a fast return on investment.

The DPA 5 has dual CAN communication channels. This allows the DPA 5 to communicate with vehicles having two separate CAN data buses.
The patented screw-in USB cable keeps you from constantly repairing/replacing your adapter. It comes with a two-year warranty with purchase options for up to four years.

DG Technologies reports that customers have been asking for a simple diagnostics application that will work with their DPA "right-out-of-the-box" to display faults, component information and basic vehicle parameters from the J1708/J1587 and CAN/J1939 data buses. DG Technologies has answered the call and is providing these features in an application called "DG Diagnostics."

DG Diagnostics is a great screening/triage tool and is provided free-of-charge with the purchase of any DPA product. DG Diagnostics works with all DPA adapters past and present, and may reduce your need to purchase full-featured OEM software.

Take your DPA straight from the box and start generating ROI with some of these features:

• Read and display J1587 and J1939 faults in "text" form. Request clear of inactive J1587 and J1939 faults.

• Display "total-vehicle" and "trip data" such as odometer, engine hours, and fuel economy from the J1587 and J1939 data buses.

• Create a viewable/printable/saveable vehicle report in HTML format showing all information that has been captured.

• Display common “dashboard” parameters such as RPM, temperatures and pressures from the J1587 and J1939 data buses.

• Request reset of J1939 trip information (trip odometer, trip miles, trip fuel, etc).

• Display J1587 and J1939 ECM component information such as VIN, make, model, serial and unit numbers.

• Record data bus data for engineering analysis as well as play that data back internally through the program or externally to the data bus.

• Configure and launch OEM applications directly without having to navigate through the Windows Start Menu.
