What is claimed is: 1. A method to integrate engine and exhaust aftertreatment control, comprising: connecting an engine controller to an aftertreatment controller using a common data link protocol to provide a bidirectional data flow between the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller; transmitting messages between the aftertreatment controller and the engine controller via the common data link; determining a priority of the messages to be transmitted; transmitting a message having a high priority with a lower latency compared to a message with a low priority; connecting the engine controller to one or more engine components; and connecting the aftertreatment controller to one or more aftertreatment components. 2. The method of claim 1, further including connecting the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller to a common service connector shared by the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller. 3. The method of claim 1, further including connecting the engine controller to a first service connector and connecting the aftertreatment controller to a second service connector separate from the first service connector. 4. The method of claim 1, further including connecting the engine controller to engine components including at least one of an engine sensor and an engine actuator and connecting the aftertreatment controller to aftertreatment components including at least one of an aftertreatment sensor and an aftertreatment actuator. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller operably connect to the engine components and aftertreatment components, respectively, via at least one of pulse width modulation, data link protocols, current signals and analog signals. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the common data link protocol includes at least one of J1939 and SAE J1587 data link protocols. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the bidirectional data flow includes one or more engine operating conditions and one or more aftertreatment diagnostic conditions. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more engine operating conditions include at least one of mass flow rate, an exhaust temperature, engine speed and engine torque. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more aftertreatment diagnostic conditions include at least one of a particulate matter accumulation level in an exhaust element and a pressure differential across the exhaust element. 10. An exhaust aftertreatment control system comprising: an engine controller; an aftertreatment controller connected to the engine controller using a common data link protocol to provide a bidirectional data flow between the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller, aftertreatment controller configured to maintain flame stability of a diesel burner; one or more engine components operably connected to the engine controller; and one or more aftertreatment components operably connected to the aftertreatment controller. 11. The control system of claim 10, wherein the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller are operably connected to a common service connector shared by the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller. 12. The control system of claim 10, wherein the engine controller is connected to a first service connector and the aftertreatment controller is connected to a second service connector separate from the first service connector. 13. The control system of claim 10, wherein the one or more engine components include at least one of an engine sensor and an engine actuator, and the one or more aftertreatment components include at least one of an aftertreatment sensor and an aftertreatment actuator. 14. The control system of claim 10, wherein the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller operably connect to the engine components and aftertreatment components, respectively, via at least one of pulse width modulation, data link protocols, current signals and analog signals. 15. The control system of claim 10 wherein the common data link protocol includes at least one of J1939 and SAE J1587 data link protocols. 16. The control system of claim 10, wherein the bidirectional data flow includes one or more engine operating conditions and one or more aftertreatment diagnostic conditions. 17. The control system of claim 16, wherein the one or more engine operating conditions include at least one of a mass flow rate, an exhaust temperature, engine speed and engine torque. 18. The control system of claim 16, wherein the one or more aftertreatment diagnostic conditions include at least one of a particulate matter accumulation level in an exhaust element and a pressure differential across the exhaust element. 19. A machine comprising: a frame; an engine operably connected to the frame; an aftertreatment controller; an engine controller connected to the aftertreatment controller using a common data link protocol to provide bidirectional data flow between the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller, the aftertreatment controller configured to maintain flame stability of a diesel burner; the common data link including a priority field configured to determine a priority of messages to be transmitted and transmitting a message with a high priority with a lower latency compared to a message with a low priority; one or more engine components connected to the engine controller; and one or more aftertreatment components connected to the aftertreatment controller. 20. The work machine of claim 19, wherein the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller connect to a common service connector shared by the engine controller and the aftertreatment controller. 21.
