Reliable, robust and generic controllers

CBCU5 meets the growing demand for reliable and powerful onboard control units by centralizing intelligence and input/output management of cabin and body in just one device.

CBCU5 not only stands for great reliability and robustness, but also for a high potential for reducing cable harnesses, connectors, relays and fuses. It can be connected with up to four nodes via a powerful multiplex CAN connection. It can also be connected to instrument clusters such as the MultiViu® Professional 12 Generation 2 or the MultiViu® Compact 7 via an instrument CAN.

As a generic body control unit, CBCU5 offers a 12/24V LIN interface for cost-optimized communication between actuators and sensors in the vehicle. The device was developed in accordance with ISO 26262 and supports applications up to ASIL B level.
