DPA 5 Quad-CAN
 


  • The DPA 5 is the most rugged Quad CAN RP1210/J2534 Vehicle Datalink Adapter available.
  • Comes with a 2-year warranty with purchase options for up to 4-years.
  • Patented screw-in USB cable keeps you from constantly repairing/replacing your adapter.
  • Supports most OEM RP1210 and J2534 diagnostic/reflashing applications.
  • Includes DG Diagnostics, a free heavy-duty diagnostic software package!



  • The DPA 5 Quad-CAN continues DG Technologies' DPA family tradition of being the fastest, most rugged, most reliable, and most versatile RP1210 and J2534 Vehicle Datalink Adapters (VDAs).

    The DPA 5 Quad-CAN is a One-Tool-Solution, supporting all of your favorite OEM and component diagnostic and reprogramming applications. So why purchase multiple adapters, when the DPA 5 Quad-CAN is all you need?

    The DPA 5 Quad-CAN was purpose-built for a Heavy-Duty Truck OEM. The OEM had an End-Of-Line (EOL) reprogramming station that required fast re-flashing of 4 Electronic Control Units/Modules (ECUs/ECMs) at the same time. The speed of the DPA 5 Quad-CAN along with the 4 CAN channels meant significantly reduced reprogramming sessions, and lead to a fast return on their investment (ROI)...

    The DPA 5 Quad-CAN supports 4 separate CAN communication channels, which makes it a perfect tool for OEM and component manufacturer design and test engineers.

    Not only is the DPA 5 Quad-CAN a great product, but our warranty, support, and service are second-to-none.

    • The DPA 5 Quad-CAN comes with a two-year limited warranty.
    • The DPA is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
    • Our technical support team has years of industry experience to help you get the most from your investment.
    • Should a tool need to be returned to the factory, the RMA repair process is simple, and turnaround is generally same-day.

    You Asked for "Out-of-the-Box" Functionality and we Delivered - DG Diagnostics!


    Our 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.

    Below are images showing some of the functionality within the DG Diagnostics application.
