Night View Assist control unit, component description - GF54.30-P-6200LE
MODEL 216.3, 221.0/1 with CODE (610) Night vision assist as of model year 2009/YoM 08
Shown on model 221.0 up to 31.5.09
Location
The Night View Assist control unit is located on the left on the A-pillar behind the paneling in the driver footwell.
Task
The Night View Assist control unit performs the following tasks:
- Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
- Evaluation of input factors
- Output of signals
- Actuating components
For vehicles up to 31.5.09, the Night View Assist control unit is a subscriber to the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H).
For vehicles as of 1.6.09, the Night View Assist control unit is a subscriber to the chassis CAN (CAN E).
Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
The input factors are read in via the following connections:
- Low voltage differential signal (LVDS)
- Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
- Chassis CAN (as of 1.6.09)
LVDS
The Night View Assist control unit receives the pictures recorded by the Night View Assist camera (B84/2) via the digital video interface (LVDS line).
Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
The Night View Assist control unit reads in the signals via the vehicle dynamics CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
Chassis CAN (as of 1.6.09)
The Night View Assist control unit reads in the signals via the chassis CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
The following information is read in and processed:
- Status of Night View Assist button (S1s9)
- Status of low beam actuation (up to 31.5.11)
- Data from rain/light sensor (B38/2)
- Vehicle speed
- Light source identification by the multifunction camera (A40/11) (as of 1.6.09)
- Vehicle dynamics (as of 1.6.09 up to 31.5.11)
- Status of adaptive high beams (as of 1.6.11)
Evaluation of input factors
The integrated microprocessor evaluates the information read in. The pictures taken by the Night View Assist camera are processed accordingly. The information read in is also used for fault detection and system diagnosis.
Output of signals
The Night View Assist control unit sends the processed picture data via the digital video interface (LVDS line) to the instrument cluster. The Night View Assist camera is controlled by the Night View Assist control unit via the control channel of the digital video interface (LVDS line).
Actuation of components
The actuation of the components takes place via the following connections:
- Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
- Chassis CAN (as of 1.6.09)
Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
The Night View Assist control unit actuates the following components:
- Left infrared emitter (E1e11)
- Right infrared lamp (E2e11)
The Night View Assist control unit transmits the request via:
- Vehicle dynamics CAN
- ESP control unit (N47-5)
- Chassis CAN
- Central gateway control unit (N93)
- Interior CAN (CAN B)
- Front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1)
The corresponding signals are sent by the Night View Assist control unit via the vehicle dynamics CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
Chassis CAN (as of 1.6.09)
The Night View Assist control unit actuates the following components:
- Left infrared lamp
- Right infrared lamp
The Night View Assist control unit transmits the request via:
- Chassis CAN
- Central gateway control unit
- Interior CAN
- Front SAM control unit
The corresponding signals are sent by the Night View Assist control unit via the chassis CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
