Advanced Controls Architecture utilizing Pulse Code Modulation (PCD) explained

Mercedes Benz has been a major pioneer of revolutionizing modern Controls Systems by implementing highly sophisticated controls architecture, by using a system of Fiber-optic cables over traditional wiring harnesses inherent within standard protocals such as Vector CAN.

M.O.S.T is an acronym for Media Oriented Systems Transport. In the year 2000, the debut of the new S-Class sedan marked the most computerized car to date. Mercedes Benz knew that, in order to be competitive with the incredibly advanced UCF10 and UCF20 Lexus LS400, they would have to innovate even further to prove themselves. After all, it was as recently as the late 1980s that Mercedes claimed Toyota was incapable of producing a car that could be more technologically sophisticated than a German flagship.Fiber Optic cables proved themselves via TAT-8, which spanned from the east coast of North America across the pacific ocean to Great Britain. Pulse Code Modulation is an essential practice, which essentially digitizes continuous waveform analog signals coming in via sensors, such as the O2, anti-knock, or suspension calibration system.

The system is highy efficient for several scientific reasons. Light travels through these tubes. The photons; i.e. Particles of light, are continually reflected and refracted through the tube’s walls. The specific angle of refraction leading to defragmentation has enough allowance typically that wiring a vehicle does not prove problematic. The result is Total Internal reflection. The cladding surrounding the optic fibre has a much lower index of refraction, so that the photons simply reflect back into the tube.

Over conventional wiring networks, you will see Less signal attenuation, no interference, and higher frequency bandwidth allowable.

In summary, Pulse Code Modulation effectively achieves the same task as a BUS: It approximates the continuous waveform signals with discretized approximations, in the style of a Riemann sum, in the Fundamental Theroem of Calculus. It accomplishes this by programmed in Differential Equations; Namely: The Laplace Transform and Fourier Series Transform of Differential Equations. The ECU’s data map should be able to ideally linearly interpolate all MAP values very efficiently. Today, the BlueTEC system is among the most well-designed, sophisticated control systems ever conceived.
