Control device has microcontroller designed as algorithm server and connected to another microcontroller, which is designed as value added function server, by serial interface, where software transfer takes place between microcontrollers

摘要

The device has a microcontroller (2), and another microcontroller (4), which is fastened at the microcontroller (2) for synchronized processing of tasks, where a software transfer takes place between the microcontrollers for delayed tasks. The microcontroller (2) is designed as an algorithm server (AS) and the microcontroller (4) is designed as a value added function server (VAFS) for implementing additional functions. The microcontrollers are connected by a serial interface (6) and are designed for processing tasks for different time periods during a cycle. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for operating a control device (2) a computer program with program code unit for implementing a method for operating a control device (3) a computer program product with program code unit for a method for operating a control device.
