MULTI-PROTOCOL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION MODULE

摘要

A wireless communication module communicates with a remote station and a plurality of motor vehicle control units that implement at least two differe nt communication protocols within a single motor vehicle. The wireless communication module includes an RF interface, a processor and a selectable multiple protocol interface. The processor communicates with the RF interfac e and thereby communicates with the remote station. The processor executes translation routines and thereby provides requests to one of the plurality of motor vehicle control units. The selectable multiple protocol interface is coupled between the plurality of motor vehicle control units and the processor. The selectable multiple protocol interface converts processor requests into a format that is readabl e by the selected motor vehicle control unit and converts received diagnostic information into a format that is readable by the processor. If desired, both the selectable multiple protocol interface and the processor functionality can be incorporated withi n the FPGA.
