A module is provided for an air suspension system of a vehicle, the module having a sensor interface for connecting to a sensor, in particular a displacement sensor, a valve, in particular an electropneumatic valve, and a data interface. This sensor interface is configured to receive sensor values from the sensor. The data interface is configured to output sensor values received via the sensor interface to a control device, and to receive control commands for controlling the valve from the control device. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a control device, an air suspension system, a vehicle, a vehicle trailer, a method for operating an air suspension system, and a computer program product.

Air suspension system for a vehicle

An air suspension control system (ECAS, electronic controlled air suspension) () for a utility vehicle, such as a truck or the like, or for a passenger car, includes a main control unit () for operating the air suspension control system () and at least two auxiliary control units () connected to the main control unit () via a data link (). The auxiliary control units () each have at least one output () for actuating at least one actuator () which can be connected to the output (), in particular an adjustment drive () for a valve (). Furthermore, at least one function for generating control signals at the output () can be stored in the auxiliary control units (), and the main control unit () is adapted to call up and/or to parameterize at least the stored functions by transmitting commands via the data link ().
