General Information

Components of OPPS/OPS
2 Components of OPPS/OPS
2.1 General information on OPPS/OPS
In the vehicles from E65 optical waveguides for communication

between the control units are used for the first time in series production
at BMW. The optical buses are characterized by a high data transfer
rate and are insensitive to electromagnetic interference. The optical
buses are the MOST bus, primarily installed in the vehicle for use in
consumer electronics, and the byteflight bus, primarily installed for use
in safety-critical functions.
The OPPS was designed for coding, individualizing and programming
( CIP) by means of the Software Service Station (SSS), and intended
for the use of the BMW diagnosis system (DIS) from DISPlus and Group
Tester One (GT1). It is designed for test and programming work from
the E65 series and replaces the diagnostic head.
The OPS is intended for the fast programming of control units.
When operated on the SSS no diagnosis and measuring technology
measures are possible, as no measuring technology is integrated. The
OPPS/OPS is primarily used for programming control units (flashing)
there.
Communication with the vehicle can take place via both the MOST and
the OBD interface. The OBD interface is required for the power sup-
ply of the OPPS/OPS and has communications properties with which
the vehicle can be identified and the data to be programmed can be
determined. From CIP Version 7.0 the clearing of fault code memories
is possible with OPPS/OPS.

2.2 Equipment of OPPS/OPS
2.2.1 Color coding of OPPS/OPS
Colored markers in 5 different colors are included with the OPPS/OPS.

These are used for marking the OPPS/OPS in the same manner as the
diagnostic head. The colored allocation can be used to visually link the
OPPS/OPS to the DISPlus/GT1 or the SSS. When several OPPSs/
OPSs are used, this enables you to recognize from the respective color
which OPPS/OPS is currently connected to the DISPlus/GT1 or the
SSS (also refer to the manual "Working with the GT1", Chap. 4, Work-
ing with diagnostic head, color allocation or from CD 34, Operating
Manual "Network Full Functionality").
Fig. 2-2 Colored markers (example of OPPS)
The colored markers are colored plastic strips that can be used on all
four sides of the OPPS/OPS.
Fig. 2-3 Application points for the colored markers (view of MOST connection
side)

2.2.2 MOST connections
The connections for the MOST adapter are located behind the roller
blind with the marking "MOST". They are accessed by opening the
marked roller blind.
(1) Adapter connection with protective plug

(2) LEDs for status indicator of the MOST interface:
Red = power supply
Yellow = data transfer (access)

with the USB output or PC card designation. They are accessed by
opening the marked roller blind.
(1) USB connection

(2) PC card slot (PCMCIA)
Fig. 2-6 USB and PC card connection of OPPS (bottom)
Note
When using the USB or PCMCIA port (PC card), use only devices approved by
the manufacturer.

2.3 Differences between OPS and OPPS
The OPPS/OPS is designed for fast programming of control units in the

vehicle. The control units on the MOST bus are equipped with very
large firmware in some cases, i.e. during a program update of a control
unit, it may be necessary to transfer several megabytes of program data
to the vehicle.
The OPPS or OPS enables direct access to the MOST bus. This con-
cept ensures that the control units can be supplied with new software
within an economically practical period of time.
With the OPPS it is also possible to use the byteflight interface to test
the control units. However, it is not intended that the unit be used to
directly program the control units via the byteflight bus, as no major
time advantage results here due to the small data quantities involved.
As a result, the byteflight interface was eliminated on the OPS. Due to
the elimination of the byteflight electronics in the OPS, the cables and
adapters provided is also reduced.
Compared to the delivery scope of the OPPS, a network cable is also

included with the OPS (orange 7-pin ODU connector/RJ45 connector)
with which the OPS can be connected to the workshop network.
For the exact delivery scope of the OPS, refer to Chapter 1.4.3.
Note
If you use the OPS equipped with an orange housing instead of an OPPS, you
can skip all chapters with information on the options for byteflight use in this
manual.

2.4 Diagnosis cable
To operate the OPPS/OPS, it must always be connected to the OBD II

socket of the vehicle.
This connection supports the following functions:
• Power supply of the OPPS/OPS (Terminal 30, 31)

• Communication with control units
• Determination of the terminal status (voltages of Terminal 15, 30)
• Engine speed measurement
Two diagnosis cables are included with the OPPS for connecting it to
the OBD socket, and one with the OPS. The cables have different
lengths and different identification resistance values. With this identifi-
cation the OPPS can detect which cable is connected.
Fig. 2-7 Onboard diagnosis cable, short
Onboard diagnosis cable, short, length = 31 in (0.8 m), 66 3 111.

This cable is designed for transfer rates up to 115 kbaud and enables
fast programming of the control units that cannot be reached via
MOST.
Note
Only the onboard diagnosis cable, short, is included with the OPS.

Fig. 2-8 Onboard diagnosis cable, long
Onboard diagnosis cable, long, length = 18 ft (5.5 m), 66 3 112.

This cable is intended for checking the optical bus systems and enables
better movement of the OPPS during testing on the vehicle due to the
length of 18 ft (5.5 m).
Due to the cable length of 18 ft (5.5 m), the maximum transfer rate is
limited to 10,400 baud.
Note
The diagnosis cable, long, is not included with the OPS!
Important
Do not use the onboard diagnosis cable, long, for programming, as program-
ming crashes can occur. Always use the onboard diagnosis cable, short, for
this purpose!

2.5 Network cable
To connect the OPPS/OPS to a DISPlus, a GT1 or an SSS in a work-

shop network, you require a LAN cable with an RJ45 connector (on net-
work side) and a 7-pin, orange ODU connector (on OPPS side).
Fig. 2-10 LAN cable RJ45/ODU
For direct connection to a GT1 or an SSS you also require a LAN

adapter (crossed).
Fig. 2-11 LAN adapter (crossed)
Note
To distinguish it from a LAN adapter (uncrossed) provided with the GT1, the
LAN adapter (crossed) is also marked with a yellow marking. The direct con-
nection is only intended for special cases, as the basic connection of the OPPS/
OPS is carried out via the workshop network!
Note
The network cables/adapters are contained once in the delivery scope of the
SSS.
The LAN cable is contained in the delivery scope of the OPS, however not the
LAN adapter (crossed)!

2.6 MOST adapter
2.6.1 MOST cable for programming
Fig. 2-12 MOST programming cable (L = 8 ft (2.5 m))
The MOST programming cable 66 3 121 with a length of 8 ft (2.5 m) is

used during programming to connect the OPPS/OPS to the MOST
programming connection of the vehicle. While the OPPS must be con-
nected via the short onboard diagnosis cable for programming, a suffi-
ciently long optical cable is required for connection to the programming
connection. This cable is not suitable for use during measurements, as
imprecise measurements can result due to its length.

2.6.2 MOST cable for control unit test
Fig. 2-13 MOST control-unit cable (1.6 ft (0.5 m))
The MOST control-unit cable 66 3 122 is required for testing a MOST

control unit of the vehicle. As the cable is short, it enables exact mea-
surements.
Note
This cable is not included in the delivery scope of the OPS!
2.6.3 MOST wiring-harness extension
Fig. 2-14 MOST wiring-harness extension
The MOST wiring-harness extension 66 3 123 is used for testing the

optical waveguides in the vehicle wiring harness with the OPPS (not
OPS).

2.6.4 MOST test loop
Fig. 2-15 MOST test loop
The MOST test loop 66 3 124 is used for the self-test of the OPPS/
OPS and for testing the MOST adapters.
2.6.5 MOST mounting housing
Fig. 2-16 MOST mounting housing
The MOST mounting housing 66 3 125 is required for adapting the

wiring harness to the MOST wiring-harness extension.
Note
The MOST wiring-harness extension and the MOST mounting housing are not
included in the delivery scope of the OPS!

2.7 byteflight adapter

4.1 Connecting OPPS/OPS to DISPlus/GT1/SSS
4.1.1 Initial connection of an OPPS/OPS
Note
Please read the operating manual "Full Network Functionality" exactly and fol-
low the instructions contained in it before connecting an OPPS/OPS to the
workshop network and corresponding linking to an DISPlus/GT1 or the SSS.
During a new installation or reconnection of an OPPS/OPS due to

repairs, it must be reinstalled in the respective network environment.
It will generally be the case that after connecting the OPPS/OPS and
starting the DIS application, it must be connected to the DISPlus/GT1/
SSS for the first time via the Administration Diagnostic Head
Configuration mask.
This is understandable from the standpoint of network organization, as
the specific IP addresses differ from workshop network to workshop
network.
4.1.2 Connection, use within a workshop network
From DIS Version CD34 the linking of diagnostic heads and an OPPS/
OPS with the establishment of the full network functionality has been
improved. From DIS Version CD36 additional functions have been
created again with the performance level 3.
Therefore, please see the operating manual for instructions on how to
simply connect the DISPlus/GT1/SSS and an OPPS/OPS in the future

Programming with OPPS/OPS
5 Programming with OPPS/OPS
5.1 General information
The following explanations refer to the programming procedure

(flashing) with the SSS and the OPPS/OPS, and assumes that the use
of these devices is sufficiently familiar. Observe the Operating Manual
accordingly.
In the following the programming procedure is described so that the
cable connection between the OPPS/OPS and the SSS is carried out
via a configured workshop network.
Note
The information provided in this chapter refer to programming with the SSS,
however also always apply to programming with a DISPlus/GT1!
5.2 Preparatory measures
For the programming procedure the battery voltage must be supported

via a connected charger.
Therefore, connect the vehicle battery to a charger recommended by
BMW and then switch the charger on.
Note
Be sure to follow the sequence for establishing a connection described below!

5.3 Preparing connections
5.3.1 MOST connection

tion of the SSS to a network!
7. Switch on the vehicle ignition.
The OPPS is now supplied with power via the diagnosis cable and
started.

Note
The connections required for programming are now established. Next commu-
nication must be established between the SSS and the OPPS/OPS on the soft-
ware level. The OPPS/OPS behaves exactly like a diagnostic head in the
process.
8. Establish a connection to the OPPS/OPS via the network adminis-

tration.
5.3.4 Vehicle programming
9. Then run the CIP application via the Programming/Coding button

on the SSS.
10. Carry out programming of the vehicle in accordance with the proce-
dural instructions of the CIP application.
Note
After completing the vehicle programming, you must first disconnect the
MOST programming connection.
11. Remove the MOST programming cable and connect the vehicle
programming connection to the MOST loop again.
