Abstract
A method for operating an application program for executing in an electric control unit for a drive system includes managing at least one application parameter using an application parameter manager.
Claims9
A method for operating an application program for execution on an electrical control unit for a drive system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an application parameter manager;
- and
- managing at least one application parameter by way of the application parameter manager,
- wherein the electrical control unit comprises at least one of a microprocessor or a field programmable gate array for executing the application program;
- wherein the application program runs on a firmware on the electrical control unit,
- wherein the application parameter is a parameter of the application program,
- wherein the application parameter manager is added to the application program,
- wherein the application parameter manager is not added to the firmware on the electrical control unit,
- wherein the method further comprises the step of managing at least one device parameter by way of a device parameter manager,
- wherein the device parameter manager is added to the firmware on the electrical control unit, and
- wherein the device parameter manager is integrated into the firmware.
