XC60 FWD L6-3.2L VIN 96 B6324S2 (2010)
Example for S80/V70/XC70
A MOST-network contains all 8 control modules. There is an open circuit in the cable between the Phone Module (PHM) and the audio module (AUD),
see the illustration.
In a ring break diagnostic the infotainment control module (ICM) receives replies from the control modules on the MOST network. Those located before
the Audio module (AUD), i.e., the Phone Module (PHM), cannot transmit their reply to the infotainment control module (ICM).
The infotainment control module (ICM) now receives a response from all control modules except the integrated Phone Module (PHM), and therefore
presents the control module which is first in the loop and which responded, in this case the Audio module (AUD).
If there was no open circuit, the infotainment control module (ICM) would have responded "OK".

General
The increasing requirements of extended functionality in vehicles has underpinned the development of systems with better performance and more
functions. The MOST network is a result of this development.
The MOST network is a fiber optic network which allows a high number of different commands and messages to be sent and received on the same cable
and in the same direction.
By using a fiber optic network, functionality is extended without increasing the amount of wiring.
The number of commands and messages which can be handled on the network depends on factors such as the network speed and the length of the
message or command. The MOST network which is used in Volvo cars has the capacity to transmit over 300 message types and approximately 1000
messages per second. The transfer rate on the MOST network is approximately 25 Mbit/s.
Advantages of an optical network
-
electrical short-circuits are not possible on the MOST network. This reduces the risk of damage to control modules connected to the network
-
As an optical network, the MOST network does not have problems with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
-
the wiring is not sensitive to electrical cross-induction from other wiring
-
The transfer speed of the MOST network is much higher than the CAN network
-
it is easy to add further functions and to install accessories, known as plug and play units.
The control modules in the network are connected to each other and are constructed so that more functionality can be easily added. All that is required to
increase functionality is:
-
to connect the sensors to the nearest control module
-
to connect the controlled component to the nearest control module
-
to download software to change the configuration and programming of the network.
