Method for changing and optimising data and program cycles for programmed control devices in motor vehicles

摘要

A method for changing and optimising data and program cycles for programmed control devices, in particular for controlling ignition, fuel injection or gear-shift processes in motor vehicles is proposed, a program storage and data storage arrangement (14) with variable contents being connected to the point of the regular storage arrangement of the programmable control device (10) and being loaded with its data. A computer (15) with an input keyboard (16), by means of which these data can be changed, is connected to this storage arrangement (14). The computer (15) processes the new or changed functions in real-time operation and transmits the detected results cyclically into the storage arrangement (14) where they take the place of previous data. The control device (10) accesses these new data according to its previous function, as a result of which the newly determined real-time functions are de facto contained in the computer (15). In this way, changes can be tested and additional functions can be easily introduced and optimised with the aid of the series control devices and without special adaptation measures. <IMAGE>
