Intelligent Network Interface Controller (INIC)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the ULF-SBX, a MOST device with an Intelligent Network Interface Controller (INIC) was installed for the first time. All of the control units developed for the F01 (e.g. RSE, ZGM, KOMBI, CIC) have a built-in INIC. The INIC is the transmit and receive module in the MOST device. The INIC itself is a fully functional, autonomous network node. The network node can operate the fundamental network functions without interaction with its application. This means that the MOST ring remains functional even if a control unit has failed or is running a reset.

We can assume no liability for printing errors or inaccuracies in this information and reserve the right to introduce technical modifications at any time.
