    摘要: An interface module is proposed, to which sensors are connected and which is positioned in a control device, it being indicated via an identification input how the sensor data are to be classified by the interface module. In particular, this can be used to distinguish between safety-relevant and safety-irrelevant data. Furthermore, the nature of the data can be identified therewith. This identification input is advantageously designed as a voltage input, the voltage levels being then converted into a bit sequence. The identification input is connected to ground via a resistor, so that, in the case of an unspecified input potential, the voltage level is connected to ground. The interface module has a logic circuit to which voltage comparators are connected, which compare the voltages to reference potentials, and then the logic circuit performs a coding using the bit sequences, as a function of the output signals of the voltage comparators.

    摘要: A device for controlling firing circuits for restraining devices, a processor and a safety IC for controlling the restraining devices being connectable to the firing circuit control, and the firing circuit control having blocking inputs and blocking registers for the blocking of groups of connectable firing circuits; the processor setting the blocking registers after switching-on (of the device) and logically linking the firing circuit control data of the blocking inputs and the blocking registers with one another, so as to block individual groups of firing circuits. Thus it is especially possible individually to block firing circuits for air bags in dependence upon the degree of occupancy and the classification of the occupants in a vehicle. Setting the blocking inputs and the blocking registers takes place shortly after switching-on (of the device), after function tests of the IC's have been conducted. Besides the blocking inputs for individual control, the firing circuit control also has blocking inputs for blocking all plus and minus output stages.

    摘要: A device for data transmission between vehicle sensors and a control unit, which is used to decode data telegrams having sensor data from the vehicle sensors and to reformat them into SPI (serial peripheral interface) data telegrams. Furthermore, an interface module of the control unit transmits the SPI data telegrams to the processor of the control unit. By using an alter bit, the processor determines whether to retrieve the newest sensor data or the preceding sensor data. The interface module converts the sensor data in each case into a 10-bit data field of an SPI data telegram, into which the interface module may supplement missing data. By counting out the edges, it is possible for the interface module to recognize the data telegrams from the sensors.

    摘要: A method for checking an interface module, the interface module returning to the processor, using a second data message, stored values representing sensor values, after a request for a test by a processor using a data message. Using these firm sensor values, the processor can check the functioning of the interface module and its own algorithm. A safety module, which also picks up the sensor values, also checks its functioning with them, since the safety module is a redundant hardware path to the processor and is used as a plausibility check for the release decision of means of restraint. The interface module is changed into a test mode as soon as it receives the first data message from the processor, and it then suppresses the transmission of the real sensor values which were received from connected sensors.

    摘要: A sensor has a transmitter module for transferring data via a line, the sensor receiving power via the line. At a point in time in which the sensor receives a first power level, it transmits the data for a first time interval. A second sensor which is connected to the line in parallel to the first sensor then transmits its data for a second time interval after the first time interval. A timing sequence control system in the two sensors which is triggered by the point in time of reception of the power ensures the subsequent transmission by the first and second sensor.
