The Network Construction: Overview

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.
