General
Depending on the vehicle, the panoramic sliding sunroof control unit is either a separate control unit or forms the control module of the panoramic sliding sunroof together with the drive unit. The panoramic sliding sunroof control unit (1, 3) or the panoramic sliding sunroof control module (2) is located on the front roof frame.
Function
The panoramic sliding sunroof control unit (1, 3) controls the movements of the sliding sunroof panel as well as the panoramic sliding sunroof roller sunblind via the electric motor of the respective drive unit and processes for this purpose, among other things, the following information:
- Requirements for actuation
- Signals of the rain and light sensor
- Status of the front doors (open/closed)
- Vehicle speed
- Outside temperature
- Hall sensor signals (of the panoramic sliding sunroof drive unit)
- Hall sensor signals (of the panoramic sliding sunroof roller sunblind drive unit)
The panoramic sliding sunroof control unit (1, 3) is connected to the network architecture of the vehicle. It transmits information on the current position and movement of the panoramic sliding sunroof and the panoramic sliding sunroof roller sunblind via the network architecture.
Overheating protection
The panoramic sliding sunroof control unit (1, 3) protects the electric motors of the panoramic sliding sunroof drive unit as well as the panoramic sliding sunroof roller sunblind drive unit against overheating. The temperature of the corresponding electric motor is calculated by considering the supply voltage, the flowing current, the duration of actuation, and the outside temperature. If the overheating protection was triggered, the actuation of the affected electric motor is disabled for a minimum cooling time.
Exception
The overheating protection function does not operate during roof reversal (after a blockage is detected).
