Abstract

A control unit for a vehicle, having an interface for the exchange of data with a sensor, an actuator, and/or a processing unit, including a data memory, in which a first list with multiple first reference numbers (port) is stored. At least one datum of a sensor or an actuator is allocated to a first reference number, and a second list with second reference numbers is stored in the data memory. At least one parameter of a data transmission is stored for each second reference number, a first reference number being allocated via a modifiable allocation to a second reference number, and the control unit being developed to receive and/or transmit the data of a first reference number in accordance with the parameter of the data transmission of the second reference number.

Dependent claims

A control unit for a vehicle, comprising:

an interface configured for exchange of data with a sensor, an actuator, and/or a processing unit;
and
a data memory in which a first list having multiple first reference numbers is stored, at least one datum of a sensor or an actuator being allocated to each of the first reference numbers, and a second list with second reference numbers being stored in the data memory, at least one parameter of a data transmission or a monitoring of the data transmission being stored for each of the second reference numbers, each of the first reference numbers being allocated via a modifiable allocation to a second reference number of the second reference numbers;
wherein the control unit is configured to receive and/or transmit the data of a first reference number of the first reference numbers in accordance with the parameter of the data transmission of the allocated second reference number, and
wherein:
the first reference number represents a data port at which the control unit transmits the data in a data protocol, and
the first reference number has a data accuracy.

4 more elements

A method for adjusting at least one parameter of a data transmission of a control unit for a vehicle, the control unit having an interface for exchange of data from a sensor or an actuator with a processing unit, a first list with multiple first reference numbers being stored in a data memory of the control unit, at least one datum of a sensor and/or an actuator being allocated to each of the first reference numbers, and a second list with second reference numbers being stored in the data memory, at least one parameter of a predefined data transmission or data monitoring being allocated to the second reference numbers, the method comprising:

allocating a first reference number of the first reference numbers to a second reference number of the second reference numbers upon receipt of a predefined control command;
and
receiving the data of the first reference number and/or transmitting the data of the first reference number in accordance with the predefined data transmission of the allocated second reference number, wherein:
each of the first reference number represents a data port at which the control unit transmits the data in a data protocol, and
the first reference number has a data accuracy.
