Network Master

The M-ASK is the network master for the MOST bus. The network master undertakes all control and monitoring tasks of the MOST bus. It performs following functions:

• Configuration Control  - The network master detects the exact system configuration each time that the network is started and compares it to a stored target configuration.
• Fault Code Memory  - The network master contains the central fault code memory of the MOST network. In addition to deviations from the specified configuration, all faults that occur during operation of the network are stored in this fault code memory.
