Gateway in the BDC
The central gateway module (ZGM) is integrated in the BDC. It is a control unit within a control unit.
The task of the ZGM is to connect all the data bus systems to each other. By connecting them in this way, it is possible to use information from the individual bus systems on a generalized level. The central gateway module is able to implement different protocols and speeds on other bus systems.
The programming data for the control units is transmitted by Ethernet to the vehicle via the ZGM.
LIN controller in the BDC
The BDC is the gateway for the following components at the local interconnect network bus:
- Exterior mirror, left and right
- Switch block, driver's door, front passenger door
- Steering column switch cluster
- Light switch
- Intelligent Safety button
- Audio operating facility
- Inside mirror
- Rain‐light‐solar-condensation sensor
- Roof function center (interior lighting)
- Comfort seat, rear passenger compartment, left and right
- Electrical steering column adjustment
- Wiper
- Operating unit, center console
- Power distribution box, rear
The following control units are connected to the BDC via LIN, but the BDC has only a wake-up function and not a gateway or primary function:
