PCM2/CDR23 Control Module Function

PCM2/CDR23 control module function

Terminating resistors on the CAN
Terminating resistors are fitted to each end of the wiring to prevent reflection on the wiring. These terminating resistors are integrated into each control module. The interconnection prevents the resistors from being measured with the ohmmeter from the outside.

Resetting all coding / transmission counters
If unlocks or data transmission errors occur during operations, they will be identified by a counter in the individual MOST control modules and recorded by a counter. In this way the corresponding faulty section can be identified in case of problems whilst the unlock counter and the data transmission counter are read and compared with one another. If one of the MOST control modules indicates a considerably higher value, the corresponding optical wave guide and the control module in question, as well as the one positioned in front, should be checked so ascertain whether error codes have been saved in the fault memory. All counters can be reset to 0 in all MOST control modules using the function 'Reset all coding / transmission counters'.

External BOSE amplifier audiotests
The loudspeakers can be checked externally with BOSE amplifier vehicle equipment using this menu item. The following selection is available:

Man Machine Interface (MMI)
The MMI is part of the PCM2 (on the mainboard). It runs the gateway commands via the wake-up signal line and the distribution line diagnosis.

MOST actual installed components list/required installed components list
All MOST control modules that are connected to the PCM2 are entered in the 'required installed components list'. An actual installed components list is written and saved when the PCM2 is started.

MOST lock/unlock
There is a lock present when the MOST signal sent by the MMI (electronically or optically via the optical waveguide) can be recognised by the connected MOST control units.

MOST component check

NOTE: When there is a customer complaint or identifiable problems but no fault code entries, firstly the 'MOST component check' is to be selected in the PCM2 function selection menu and then the 'MOST system check' is to be carried out.

NOTE: The 'Reset all coding/transmission counters' function can be used to reset all fault counters that were set for all components to '0'.

The MOST component check can be reached via the menu PCM2 or CDR23 function selection. This comprises a summary of the following check processes:
- Data transmission check.
- MOST system check.
- Ring break diagnosis.

The MOST components check 'MOST system check' is to be carried out when the display indicates 'unavailable MOST control modules'. If no fault code is stored, the '*' symbol indicates a 'varying required and actual installed components list' in the Control modules menu in front of the 'PCM2' system and in the 'PCM2 MMI function selection' in front of the selection 'MOST required installed components list'. A comparison of these two lists can determine missing components.

Data transmission check
Using this menu item, the quality of the data transmission can be assessed. This is a counter which leads to an increase in the value if faults occur within a certain time period. The check is carried out continuously at predetermined intervals.






MOST system check






Ring break diagnosis






MOST - optical/electrical
MOST signals are transferred electrically within the PCM2 and optically outside of the PCM2. Internally, the PCM2 consists of at least 2 nodes (GW and MMI), which are installed in the device and can also be expanded to four nodes by adding the navigation and VOCS nodes.

The data is transferred outside of the PCM2 via the optical waveguide, which creates a connection to the nodes in the external MOST control modules such as external amplifiers, CD changers, and/or telephone/telematics (depending on the equipment). The gateway node constitutes the connection to CAN Infotainment.

MOST switch
The MOST switch is part of the PCM2. It keeps the electrical MOST closed if no other MOST control module is optically connected to the MOST. The MOST switch is opened when a light signal is received from the connected MOST control modules.

NOTE:
- When the PCM2 is replaced, the coding must be performed in accordance with the connected MOST control modules.
- When the 'Switch closed' parameter is set, the switch remains closed even in existing MOST control modules. Communication is then not possible.

Navigation
The navigation module is designed as a module box, which can be inserted in the PCM2 as an option. After the insertion, an electronic switch is opened automatically and the module is integrated into the MOST ring.

Ring break diagnosis line
The ring break 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 checked at regular intervals during communication with the control modules via the electrical/optical MOST.

Replacing CDR23 control modules
The CDR23 is provided in 'active production mode' in new vehicles and as a spare part. Each time the vehicle is started, the model range code that is stored is compared with the code in the instrument cluster. If no match is found, the device switches off after 30 seconds and the 'PROTECTED' message appears in the display.

If a match is found, the device is operational. No further checks are made while the device is connected to the vehicle electrical system.

Telephone/telematics
The telephone/telematics feature is available as an option and is linked to the PCM2 via the optical waveguide.

Tuner
The optional tuner is part of the PCM2 (installed on the main board).
