General information

The network is made up of a number of control modules (sometimes called nodes) which are connected to each other serially via two communication cables. Each control module is supplied with power and grounded individually and receives messages /commands via the two communication cables. In both networks (high and low speed sides) the control modules are serially connected. In the event of an open-circuit those control modules beyond the open-circuit will not be able to communicate with other parts of the network.
