Electrical Flashcards
What is multiplexing
A concept where transmission of more than one electrical signal or message takes place over a single or pair of wires.
What is typology
Describes how modules are connected to one another.
Bus
Star
Ring
What is network protocol
Refers to the rules or standards used to communicate over the networks. Device naming fault code structure and physical layer are examples of this
What is time division multiplexing
Requires the modules and other devices to take turns, sharing the data bus communication pathway
What is MID (message identifier)
Identifies which module is reporting the fault
What is SID
Identifies a specific failed component or replaceable subsystem
What is a parameter identifier (PID)
A value being reported
What is FMI
Fault mode identifier
Type of failure detected in the system
What is a customer programmable parameter
Seat memory, radio station, cruise control, idle time
Where does 5v reference come from
From voltage regulator in ecm
What is an anolog signal
An electric current that is proportional to a continuously changing variable, looks like a heart monitor
What is a digital signal
Signals that represent 1-0 yes or no, on or off
What is a bit (binary digit)
Smallest piece of digital or binary info represented by a 1 or 0
What is a byte
A combination of 8 bits
What is serial data
Data transmitted in series one bit after another along a single or pair of wires
