Central Data Store in Vehicle Electrical System

Abstract

A central gateway controller (100) for managing data which is transmitted via a vehicle electrical system of a vehicle is provided. The gateway controller includes at least one central communication server, ZKS, (110) including at least one central information store, ZIA, (120) for centrally storing data, which is transmitted via the vehicle electrical system, and at least one communication module (130, 132, 134, 136) for transmitting data between the ZIA and at least one bus system (160, 162, 164, 166) belonging to the vehicle electrical system. The gateway controller can store the data transmitted via the communication module in the ZIA in uniform data sets. The gateway controller is thus not just used to route messages between different (message) producers or generators and (message) consumers or loads in the vehicle electrical system but is also capable of storing the data to be exchanged in the ZIA in a uniform format.
