The sensors can be connected in a „Daisy Chain“ configuration to the ECU.
In this configuration the sensors have no fixed address and can be connected
to each position on the bus.
During start-up, each sensor receives an individual address and the supply voltage subsequently.
The addressing is realized by bidirectional communication from the ECU
to the sensor using a specific sync signal pattern. After having assigned the
individual addresses, the sensors start to transmit data in their corresponding time
slots in the same way as specified in the parallel bus topology.
If you wish to run the Simulyzer in the synchronous mode, you have to make sure that
all connections are correct and the Simulyzer is set on this operating mode.
