Remote Coding, Individualization & Programming Terminals: Notes
With the release of CIP 15.0 and the implementation of Progman (see PROGMAN section for additional information) the DISplus and GT1 will only be capable of performing vehicle diagnosis and activation/initiation of a Coding, Individualization or Programming task through the SSS. A special program management tool (Progman) will only allow the DISplus and GT1 to act as remote terminals to the SSS (regarding Coding, Individualization & Programming), which means that the SSS will be the single supplier of Coding, Individualization and Programming information to a vehicle and its respective control modules. By having all devices (DISplus, GT1 and SSS) connected to the network, the DISplus and GT1 can be utilized to perform diagnosis on a new vehicle after a request for vehicle programming as an example, has been sent to the SSS for the current vehicle.
Example: GT1(7) is connected to the LAN via access point (3) and to OPPS head (6) which is connected to LAN(4) and vehicle (5):
- Diagnosis of complaint is completed and test module result indicates that a control module needs to be updated/reprogrammed.
- Coding and Programming/CIP is accessed on GT1(7) and a request to program specific control module on vehicle (5) connected to OPPS head (6) is made.
- The SSS (1) takes over the programming process and begins to reprogram the control module and recode the vehicle (5).
- At this point the GT1(7) is free to connect to a new OPPS/diagnostic head and begin a diagnostic routine or initiate another programming/coding session on a new vehicle.
