Influencing device for control apparatus

An adjustment device for adjusting at least one control device with at least one control device microcontroller and with at least one control device debug interface, comprising:

• at least one programmable unit comprising a programmable logic chip distinct from the control device microcontroller;
• at least one data transmission interface connecting the adjustment device to an operating unit;
• at least one adjustment device debug interface connecting the adjustment device to the control device debug interface of the control device;
• the at least one programmable unit further comprising at least one memory for at least one address list and at least one data list, where the addresses stored in the address list denote memory locations in the address space of the control device microcontroller;
• and
• where, with the use of the adjustment device debug interface, data from the memory locations in the address space of the control device microcontroller and as specified by the contents of the programmable unit address list can be read from the control device and stored in the programmable unit data list and/or the data stored in the programmable unit data list can be stored at the memory locations in the address space of the control device microcontroller and as specified by the contents of the programmable unit address list, and
• wherein, the adjustment device comprises a coordination unit which is connected via a coordination interface to one or more of the units of the programmable unit and/or via the data transmission interface to the operating computer and/or via the bypass interface to the simulation unit and/or to the bypass memory.
