The multiple-motor propulsion control unit is the vehicle’s power brain. It is an ASIL-D capable ECU, designed for ISO 26262 and Safety-critical operation. The intelligent propulsion control is capable of controlling distributed powertrain systems using multiple traction controllers (motors) through its modular approach to control architecture, which is plug and play, customizable and designed to handle even the most demanding application thanks to the new Aurix family of tri-core CPUs.
The PCU is able to control several other electronic devices such as BMS, chargers, dashboards, cooling pumps, fans, contactors and relays, and handles advanced algorithms for regenerative braking, torque vectoring, heating and cooling, numerous safety measures and much more, depending on your vehicle’s requirements and purpose.
