Control Unit Function - External Harman Amplifier

Control unit function - external Harman amplifier

Terminating resistors on the CAN
Terminating resistors are fitted to each end of the wiring to prevent reflection on the wiring. These terminating resistors are integrated into each control module. The interconnection prevents the resistors from being measured with the ohmmeter from the outside.

CAN Infotainment
Communication between the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 and the MOST control modules only takes place via the K lead to the instrument cluster. The data is transferred from the instrument cluster gateway to the MOST control modules, via CAN Comfort to the PCM2 gateway, via the electrical MOST in the PCM2 and via the optical MOST outside of the PCM2.

CD changer (CDC)
The CDC is available as an optional feature and is linked to the PCM2 via the optical waveguide.

Coding table









Coding
It is possible to extract the PCM2 code and to code the PCM2 on a country-specific basis in the 'Modify coding' menu.






Data transfer fault
If faults are detected when the data is decoded, this is known as a data transfer fault. The faults can arise when the data is coded, when the data is transferred through an input level that is optically too low or when the data is decoded. A fault entry is not recorded.

It creates links to the following systems:
- CAN Infotainment
- Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), internal (electrical)
- Voice control system (VOCS) (optional/insertion)
- Navigation (optional/insertion)
- Man Machine Interface (MMI)
- Single CD
- Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), external bus (optical)
- External amplifier optional (Harman or BOSE)
- CD changer optional
- Telephone/telematics optional

Identification
The diagnosis software number and the part number for the PCM2 can be read out under this menu item.
1. Connect and start the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 and switch on the ignition
2. Select 'Cayenne' in the Vehicle type menu and confirm with the [-->|] key
3. Select 'PCM2' in the Control units menu and confirm with the [>>] key
4. Select 'PCM2/CDR23' in the Control units menu and confirm with the [>>] key
5. Select 'PCM2 GW' in the Cayenne PCM2/CDR23 function selection menu and confirm with the [>>] key
6. Select "Identification" in the Cayenne PCM2/CDR23 menu, PCM2 GW function selection and confirm with the [>>] key
7. "Diagnosis software number; PCM2 part number." appears on the display

MOST actual and required installed components lists
All MOST control modules that are connected to the PCM2 are entered via diagnostic tester in the 'required installed components list'. Only the MOST control units recorded in the MOST required installed components list are activated. An 'actual installed components list' of detected devices is written and saved when the PCM2 is started.

Actual values
It is possible to read out the unlock counter under the 'Actual values' menu item.






Lock/unlock
There is a lock present when the MOST signal sent by the MMI (electronically or optically via the optical waveguide) can be recognised by the connected MOST control units.

Man Machine Interface (MMI)
The MMI is part of the PCM2 (on the mainboard). It runs the gateway commands via the wake-up signal line and the distribution line diagnosis.

MOST - optical/electrical
MOST signals are transferred electrically within the PCM/CDR23 and optically outside of the PCM/CDR23. Internally, the PCM2 consists of at least 2 nodes (GW and MMI), which are installed in the device and can also be expanded to four nodes by adding the navigation and VOCS nodes. Internally, the CDR23 consists of one node (GW) which is installed in the CDR23.

The data is transferred outside of the PCM2 via the optical waveguide, which creates a connection to the nodes in the external MOST control modules such as external amplifiers, CD changers, and/or telephone/telematics (depending on the equipment). The data is transferred outside of the CDR23 via the optical waveguide, which creates a connection to the nodes in the external MOST control modules such as external amplifiers and/or CD changers (depending on the equipment). The gateway node represents the connection to CAN Comfort.

MOST switch
The MOST switch is part of the PCM2. It keeps the electrical MOST closed if no other MOST control module is optically connected to the MOST. The MOST switch is opened when a light signal is received from the connected MOST control modules.

NOTE:
- When the PCM2 is replaced, the coding must be performed in accordance with the connected MOST control modules.
- When the 'Switch closed' parameter is set, the switch remains closed even in existing MOST control modules. Communication is then not possible.

Navigation
The navigation module is designed as a module box, which can be inserted in the PCM2 as an option. After the insertion, an electronic switch is opened automatically and the module is integrated into the MOST ring.

Ring break diagnosis line
The ring break diagnosis line is an electrical lead, which, as a stub cable, connects the individual MOST control modules in the system with one another. The existing MOST control modules are checked at regular intervals during communication with the control modules via the electrical/optical MOST.

Input signals
The following queries can be run using this menu item:
- Tuner parameters
- Registry startup status
- Internal ring startup status
- External ring startup status

NOTE: Deactivate the 'automatic traffic announcement' before performing the diagnosis on the PCM2. If this is not done, the diagnosis will abort.









Single CD
The CD player is part of the PCM2. It is used to update the navigation system.

Voice control system (VOCS)
The VOCS is designed as a module box which can be pushed into the PCM2 (optional). After the insertion, an electronic switch is opened and the module is integrated into the MOST ring.

PCM2 control module (head unit)
The PCM2 control module (head unit) includes the following components:

Internal:
PCM2 gateway
PCM2 Man Machine Interface (MMI)
Internal amplifier (optional, depending on the equipment)
Tuner
Single CD
Navigation (optional/insertion)
VOCS (voice control system) (optional/insertion)
Controller Area Network (CAN) Infotainment
MOST switch

External:
External amplifier (optional, Harman or BOSE)
CD changer (CDC), (optional)
Telephone/telematics (optional)

The PCM2 consists of at least two but a maximum of four MOST nodes, (Gateway, MMI and Navigation and VOCS (optional)), which communicate with each other electronically via the MOST. Data is transferred outside of the PCM2 via the optical MOST.

Telephone/telematics
The telephone/telematics feature is available as an option and is linked to the PCM2 via the optical waveguide.

Tuner
The tuner is part of the PCM2 (on the main board).

Unlock counter
Interruptions occur in the system if perfect communication is no longer possible. If the relevant threshold values are exceeded, an entry is recorded in the appropriate control module and the 'unlock counter' is incremented.

External amplifier
The external amplifier (Harman or BOSE) is available as an optional feature and is linked to the PCM2 via the optical waveguide.

Internal amplifier
The internal amplifier is part of the PCM2 (installed on the main board).

Wake-up function
In an idle state, all control modules that are connected to the PCM2/CDR23 are in sleep mode. When the PCM2/CDR23 is switched on, 'the light' which is reinforced by the connected MOST control modules and forwarded is switched on via the gateway.
