CAN-network (Controller Area Network): Compatibility

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The units must "speak" the same language and must be compatible with each other. A standardized communication protocol is used for this.

Signal configuration (sfg) contains the language between the units. If any module has a signal configuration which does not correspond to other units the module cannot communicate. This means that all the units must have compatible signal configuration. The signal configuration is occasionally modified so that the new messages are added and old messages removed.
