A control device and corresponding motor vehicle for connecting a CAN bus to a radio network, having the following features: the control device includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a first CAN transceiver and a second CAN transceiver; the microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the CAN transceivers; the first CAN transceiver is connected to the second CAN transceiver; the first CAN transceiver is configured in such a manner that it suppresses transmission via the CAN bus and supports reception via the CAN bus in a normal mode and supports transmission and reception in a diagnostic mode; and the second CAN transceiver is configured in such a manner that it changes the first CAN transceiver from the normal mode to the diagnostic mode when the second CAN transceiver receives a wake-up frame via the CAN bus.

A control device and corresponding motor vehicle for connecting a CAN bus to a radio network, having the following features: the control device includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a programmable logic module and a CAN transceiver; the microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the logic module; the CAN transceiver is connected, on the one hand, to the logic module and, on the other hand, to the CAN bus; a data stream to the microcontroller corresponds to a data stream from the CAN transceiver; and the logic module is configured in such a manner that it monitors a data stream from the microcontroller which is addressed to the CAN transceiver and, on the basis of a data frame contained in the data stream from the microcontroller, suppresses at least this data frame.

Control device for connecting a can bus to a radio network, and motor vehicle having such a control device

A control device, which connects a controller area network (CAN) bus to a radio network, includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a CAN controller and a CAN transceiver. The CAN controller has a first channel and a second channel for transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) frames. The microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the first channel of the CAN controller. The CAN transceiver is connected, on the one hand, to the second channel of the CAN controller and, on the other hand, to the CAN bus. The CAN controller configured in such a manner that it transmits or blocks a frame received on the first channel on the basis of an identifier of the frame on the second channel. Also described is a motor vehicle having such a control device.
