A vehicle controller and a control method, which is designed for a plurality of different vehicle versions, including: means for storing a plurality of control parameters for different vehicle versions, means for storing a version coding for personalizing the vehicle controller for a predetermined vehicle version, the version coding having a number of bit positions, and means for indirect selection of control parameters from the control parameter storage means by algorithmic processing of the values of several bit positions of the version coding.

Vehicle controller and control method

A method and a device for controlling a drive unit, in particular, of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle, in which at least one performance quantity of the drive unit is detected and at least one actuator of the drive unit is controlled with controlled variables, depending on this performance quantity, according to predefinable or preselectable functionalities. In a controller, at least two processors process the possible functionalities, where these functionalities are defined by program code in at least one assigned program memory per processor. These possible functionalities of the processors, i.e., the program codes in the program memories assigned to the processors are identical.

Device and method of controlling a drive unit

A control device for an internal combustion engine includes a control circuit and at least one interface for communication of the control circuit with a sensor and/or an actuator for detecting and/or controlling of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, as well as an additional interface for communication with a dynamo-electric generator, for detecting and/or controlling of operating parameters of the generator.

Control device for an internal combustion engine

A method and a device for controlling processes with the help of process quantities in conjunction with a drive, in particular an engine for driving a vehicle, the processes being executed and controlled at the time the drive is shut off and/or thereafter, and the power supply to the processes and control being maintained by an energy storage devices at the time the drive is shut off and/or thereafter, the processes being controlled by at least two processors and the first processor disconnecting the at least second processor and itself from the power supply when the process quantities of the processes assigned to the respective processors each meet at least one predefinable condition.

Method and device for controlling processes in conjunction with a drive

Method and device for controlling a process in a vehicle, in particular for controlling a drive in the vehicle, using at least one processor. Control functions are stored in the form of program code in a processor-addressable address space of at least one memory. The address space is divided into segments of equal length, and the program code is stored as program parts per control function in individual, consecutive sections in the segment. At least two segments are linked so that a section of a first segment is programmed as an exit label from the first segment, and a second section in the second segment is programmed as an entry label to the second segment. A transition from the exit label of the first segment to the entry label of the second segment brackets the code segments and thus expands the possible segment area.

Method and device for controlling processes in a vehicle

A method and a device for controlling processes in conjunction with an internal combustion engine having at least two combustion chambers, where control functions are executed by at least one processor, and the program code on which the control functions are based can be stored in at least one memory. At least one data record is assigned to the program code, and the control functions are implemented as a link between the program code and the at least one data record. The combustion chambers are grouped in at least two engine banks for control purposes, and one data record is assigned to each engine bank individually. The respective data record for implementing the control functions is selected as a function of the respective engine bank to be controlled. Thus, the data record is switched as a function of the engine bank.

Method and device for controlling processes in conjunction with an internal combustion engine

A method and an apparatus for controlling operations in a vehicle, at least two processors accessing at least one memory device and a simultaneous read and/or write access of the at least two processors to the identical address of the memory device during program execution being prevented. The identical address is detected by way of an address comparison, and as a function of this address comparison a signal is transmitted to at least one processor. In particular, a first signal is transmitted to a first processor and a second signal to a second processor. Program execution by at least one of the at least two processors is thereby brought to a halt by the signal, or the respective processor is halted.
