METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A NETWORK COMPONENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE NETWORK SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component (16) of a network system (10) for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. According to the invention, a central network device (12) of the network system (10) is connected via signals to the network component (16) by a path inside the network system, said path extending at least partially across a network segment (26) of the network system (10), said network segment (26) connecting via signals the network component (16) and a first activation device (38) associated therewith to a switch device (14) arranged in the path and to a second activation device (42) associated therewith in an unbranched manner. Said central network device (12) responds to the first activation device (38) by means of the switch device (14) by sending a network function control signal. The invention also relates to a corresponding network system (10) of a motor vehicle.
