Hybrid Manager
Hybrid manager
The interaction between the combustion engine, hybrid module (electric motor and decoupler), transmission and battery is controlled during the hybrid-specific driving modes via the hybrid manager. The hybrid manager module is located in the DME control unit Bosch MED 17.1.6 together with the control for the combustion engine.
The hybrid manager assists the existing engine control and collects all driving and energy information for the vehicle in order to control the electric motor, combustion engine and all other hybrid components in every driving situation. The hybrid manager uses approx. 20,000 data parameters, whereas around 6,000 are already sufficient for conventional engine control.
The following overview shows which components are controlled by the hybrid manager.
The hybrid components communicate with one another via the CAN Hybrid bus.
The hybrid components link the following assemblies with one another:
- Hybrid manager
- Spindle actuator
- Battery manager (BMS)
- Power electronics
All of these assemblies are also connected to the CAN Drive bus, apart from the spindle actuator.
