Terminal Resistance



Control Unit Function (part 1)

Terminal Resistance On The CAN
To prevent reflection on the wiring the ends of the wires are each provided with a terminal resistor, which are integrated into two control modules.

CAN Comfort
Communication between the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 and the MOST control modules only takes place via the K lead to the instrument cluster. The data is transferred from the instrument cluster gateway to the MOST control modules via CAN Comfort to the CDR23 gateway, via the optical MOST outside of the CDR23.

CD Changer (CDC)
The CDC is available as an optional feature and is linked to the CDR23 via the optical waveguide.

Data Transfer Fault
If faults are detected when the data is decoded, this is referred to as a data transfer fault. The faults can arise when the data is coded, when the data is transferred through an input level that is optically too low or when the data is decoded. A fault entry is not made.

Distribution Line Diagnosis
The distribution line diagnosis is an electrical lead, which, as a stub cable, connects the individual MOST control modules in the system with one another. The existing MOST control modules are electrically/optically checked at regular intervals during communication with the control modules via the MOST.

Gateway
The gateway is integrated in the CDR23. It is a fixed component of each CDR23. It provides a connection from the CAN Comfort to the MOST via its nodes. Diagnosis and useful data is exchanged with CAN via these nodes. It creates links to the following systems:
- CAN Comfort
- Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), internal (electrical)
- Single CD
- Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), external bus (optical)
