Body control module for motor vehicle
The electronic control module ("Body Control Module") intended for a motor vehicle, operating at 1000 V, measuring 16 × 13 × 3 cm, comprising a programmable memory control unit (with processors, transistors, etc.), integrated receiver and antenna. It receives and processes signals from buttons, sensors (rain, optical) or remote control key, to operate various vehicle equipment (lighting, windscreen wipers, heated windows, alarms). Classified as a multifunction electronic component, subject to automotive electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Electronic control module for automatic gearboxes ("Automatic transmission"), operating at 1000 V, dimensions 8 × 6 × 3 cm, consisting of a control device without programmable memory, integrating active and passive elements. It receives signals from gear shift position sensors and commands the engagement of the appropriate gear in the vehicle's automatic transmission. Exclusively intended for the transmission system, it falls under automotive functional and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Electronic control module ("Smart Key") for keyless vehicle access system, operating at 1000 V, measuring 15 × 12 × 4 cm, equipped with a programmable memory device, an integrated receiver, usable via transponder communication with the key. It receives and processes signals from buttons and antennas to activate door opening/closing, engine start, and to control warning devices when the key is absent. Intended for advanced keyless access and start functions, subject to electromagnetic compatibility and automotive electronic security regulations.
