Module Communications Network: Overview Lincoln MKT I

Note. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Multiplexing is a method of sending 2 or more signals simultaneously over a single circuit. Multiplexing is used to allow 2 or more electronic modules (nodes) to communicate simultaneously over a twisted-wire pair [data (+) and data (-)] network. The information or messages are communicated on these wires consist of commands, status or data. The advantage of using multiplexing is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by reducing the number of redundant components and electrical wiring.

The vehicle has 2 module communication networks which are connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC), located under the instrument panel

1. High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
2. Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)

MODULE NAME REFERENCE

Principles of Operation

Both the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) use an unshielded twisted-pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time information transfer and control. The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
