    摘要: A LIN communication system may include a gateway module coupled to one or more LIN strings, each LIN string including one or more hardware-only point-of-use controllers (PoUC) and/or one or more programmable point-of-use controllers (PoUC). Each PoUC may be tailored to a plurality of end devices, and centrally-disposed with respect to the same. The system represents an optimized arrangement that minimizes weight, cost, and complexity of the system, while providing optimized functionality in terms of processing power, bandwidth, and the like, to achieve only that which is needed to control the vehicle. The system employs a scheduler that may interleave I/O and diagnostic messages on the LIN-protocol bus at the PoUC level that may reduce unused bandwidth. This system may be particularly adapted for use in an electric vehicle having on-board solar panels, wherein the weight of system components is a dominating factor in the vehicle design.

    摘要: A motor vehicle has a master bus device that is designed to use a vehicle communication bus of the motor vehicle to exchange messages with slave bus devices. A transmission device of the master bus device cyclically exchanges the messages with the slave bus devices on the basis of a schedule For making efficient use of the vehicle communication bus by the schedule-controlled master bus device, the transmission device is designed to receive a diagnosis request signal via a data input that is different than the bus port of the master bus device and to take the diagnosis request signal as a basis for interrupting the cyclic processing of the schedule and to exchange at least one special message that is different than the messages stipulated in the schedule with at least one of the slave bus devices and then to continue the processing of the schedule.

    摘要: A master bus device for a motor vehicle exchanges messages with slave bus devices via a vehicle communication bus of the motor vehicle. It is specified in the master bus device by an operating schedule which is stored in a memory of the master bus device which messages the master bus device exchanges with the slave bus devices. To utilize the vehicle communication bus more efficiently, the master bus device has a switch-over device which is designed to receive a control signal from a device-external transmitting device and, in dependence on the control signal, to switch from the memory with the operating schedule to a further memory with a maintenance schedule which differs from the operating schedule, so that the maintenance schedule is used after switching over, for exchanging messages.

    摘要: A driver circuit for a digital signal transmitting bus includes a main switch. The main switch is connected to the bus, is controllable by the digital signal to be transmitted, and has one on-switching state in which it has maximum electrical conductivity, one off-switching state in which it has minimum electrical conductivity and at least one intermediate switching state with an electrical conductivity between the minimum and maximum conductivity. The digital signal has a first logic state and a second logic state, the first logic state controls the main switch to be in the on-switching state and the second logic state controls the main switch to be in the off-switching state. The main switch is in the intermediate switching state during switching from the on-switching state to the off-switching state and/or vice versa.
