Vehicle Control Unit
HiLineVCU™ refers to Solaredge e-Mobility division Vehicle Control Unit dedicated to manage FULL ELECTRIC vehicles.
As a powertrain domain controller, the vehicle control unit (VCU) can provide power and torque coordination, operation strategies, high-voltage and low-voltage coordination, charging control, OBD, monitoring, thermal management and much more for electrified and connected powertrains in different vehicles.
Thanks to a dual CPUs in lockstep (automotive grade), it completely manages the behaviour of vehicles, performs the diagnostics functions and manages the original or OEM dashboards.
Features
HiLineVCU™ manages all units included in the electrical vehicle. Functionalities provided by VCU are:
- Power and torque coordination
- Vehicle functions management
- RESS management
- HMI management (dashboard remote monitoring)
- Diagnostic management
- Thermal management
- Low voltage management
Keypoint
+ Scalable integration platform for powertrain and vehicle
+ Designed for Advanced cyber security
+ Flexible to manage increasing complexity in vehicles
+ Future oriented, designed compliance with ISO 26262
+ More powerful, provide calculation power with high performance μ-controllers and μ-processors
