Vehicle Electrical System Control Unit

This works in tandem with the tcu transmission control unit to control the entire vehicle.

Vehicle electrical system control unit.

The vcu reads sensor signals for example brakes hvil or charger connection. It interacts with critical components such as traction system battery management system drive selector instrument cluster and vehicle charge control unit. An electronic control unit ecu is an embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more of the electrical systems or subsystems in a vehicle. Ecotron offers the low cost but high performance vcus based on nxp micros like mpc5744 asil d rated and also another powerful vcu based on infineon tricore tc275 micro asil d rated too.

Until now control units and relays functioned at different locations in the vehicle. Types of ecu include engine control module ecm powertrain control module pcm transmission control module tcm brake control module bcm or ebcm central control module ccm central timing module ctm general electronic. The onboard power supply control unit in the touareg is responsible for the following functions. The most basic definition is electrical control unit ecu which is a generic term applied to any system that controls a system or subsystem on the vehicle.

Vehicle electrification and new powertrain systems are driving the introduction of vehicle control units vcu that act as domain controller for electric or hybrid vehicles. In the onboard power supply control unit these functions are now localised. Ecotron vcus are future oriented.
