Different Sequence

The sequence can change as from the MOST bus terminal. Possible control units include:

From the MOST bus terminal, the fibre-optic cable is routed back via the flash plug to the multi-audio system controller/car communication computer.

Store Configuration:

On the E60, the sequence of control units in the MOST system network is identical in the front area of the vehicle. All control units located in the luggage compartment can be connected to the MOST bus terminal in any arbitrary order so that the sequence of the control units can change.

Diagnosis on the MOST bus is only possible over a known sequence of control units in the MOST. When storing the MOST ring configuration, the control units are written in their installed sequence to a registration file. It is first necessary to check whether communication on the MOST bus is possible (stability check).

The configuration is automatically restored after replacing or retrofitting a control unit in the MOST system network. This takes place after programming/encoding with CIP so that the control unit sequence is up-to-date.

The "Store configuration" function is not activated automatically when the control units sequence is changed manually in the area of the luggage compartment (e.g. accident damage repair).
