DG devices interface with SAE J1939/CAN (Controller Area Network), SAE J1587/1708, Flex Ray, Local Interconnect Network (LIN), AUTOSAR, MOST, General Motors Class 2, Ford and Chrysler SAE J1850, ISO 14230-4 (KWP2000)/ISO9141, and K-Line, among others. Also, many popular Application Program Interfaces (API) are supported, including SAE J2534 and all versions of RP1210.The company headquarters is located in Farmington Hills, Michigan with subsidiaries in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Bangalore, India with global representation via approved distributors and representatives.

History
DG Technologies, formally Dearborn Group Technology, was founded in 1987 by Mark Zachos, when a variety of sought-out tools and expertise played a significant role in the growth of automotive in-vehicle and Controller Area Networking (CAN). Since then, DG has brought its vehicle network products, training, and consulting services, which includes diagnostics, re-flashing and data logging/recording, into many industries worldwide including Heavy-Duty Truck & Bus, Automotive, Government/Military, Agricultural, Construction, Aerospace and Telemetry.

Fields of Activity
DG Technologies provides hardware and software products, service diagnostic and test equipment, consulting and various training seminars with a primary industry focus on vehicle networks, often also referred to as in-vehicle and controller area (CAN) networks. DG products are found in various industries internationally, and network seminars have been presented to thousands of companies globally. DG Technologies is active in over 25 SAE committees and task forces in addition to TMC/ATA (American Trucking Association/Technology & Maintenance Council), and ETI (Equipment and Tool Institute) working to create commonality in the use and application of vehicle network standards.

Products
Some of the company’s key products are:

DPA: (Dearborn Protocol Adaptor) is a VDA (Vehicle Datalink Adaptor) family of products built for interfacing with speed-critical vehicle service OEM diagnostic applications, such as Allison™ DOC™, Bendix™ ACOM™, Cummins InSite™, Caterpillar™ Electronic Technician and many more. Other applications include End-Of-Line (EOL) programming stations and the re-flashing of Electronic Control Units/Modules (ECUs/ECMs). While all DPAs are RP1210 API compliant for use typically in the Heavy Duty Truck & Bus Industry, Military, Construction and Agricultural vehicle industries, some DPAs are also SAE J2534 API compliant, making them useful in the Automotive and Light to Medium duty truck industries.

DG Diagnostics: is screening/triage software used in conjunction with the DPA for read and display of J1587 and J1939 faults in "text" form, with record and play-back data capability for bus data during engineering analysis.

GRYPHON: is a development and analysis family of products for in-vehicle networks. Its functionality allows for vehicle network architecture development, data logging, hardware simulation and validation. Some specific configurations of the Gryphon allows for Electro Magnetic Compatibility/Electro Magnetic Interference (EMC/EMI) testing.

Hercules: is a Windows based software application used in conjunction with the Gryphon family of products to support vehicle network protocols such as CAN, LIN, and J1850 and many more, where analysis/simulation software tool is needed.

VSI-2534: is a SAE J2534-1 compliant pass-thru and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) reprogramming device that can also be used for vehicle diagnostics, development and general design.

SAINT2: Systems Analysis INterface Tool2 is a device developed by Delphi Automotive Systems that uses a high-performance micro-controller with extensive on-board memory capacity. It supports most major automotive serial communications busses without additional hardware, and is manufactured and distributed solely by DG Technologies.
