General
In principle, the machine electronics are based on all communi‐
cation between control units in the system taking place via two
data buses. The machine's control units are connected to the
buses to enable communication with each other.
Communication between the different control units as well as
reporting from control units to service sockets takes place on data
buses CAN1/J1939 and J1587/1708.
The buses follow SAE standards and consist of two pair-twisted
cables. The purpose of the twisted cabling is to protect the bus
from electrical interference.
If an error or malfunction should occur in any system, a signal is
sent out on the information bus which makes it possible to read
off the information either in the information display or with VCADS
Pro. In VCADS Pro, MID-designations (Message Identification
Description) are used for the control units.
The figure above shows the principle for how the control units and
service sockets are connected to the buses.
