Vehicle Electrical System Control Unit
The vehicle electrical system control unit has a communication interface
with the generator that is used to preset the nominal charging voltage.
The generator sends its utilization rate (DF signal) to the vehicle electri-
cal system control unit over this interface. By evaluating the battery volt-
age and DF signal, the vehicle electrical system control unit evaluates
the vehicle electrical system status and switches off comfort loads if
necessary.
The battery voltage is monitored via a separate input. The vehicle elec-
trical system control unit communicates with the DME control unit in or-
der to increase the idling speed if necessary for the purpose of improv-
ing the vehicle electrical system status.
