TechGear The ECU is the core of the electronic control system. It is essentially a microcomputer or microcontroller that receives signals from sensors on one hand, processes this information, and sends corresponding instructions to control the actions of actuators on the other hand. Sensors are components that perceive information, responsible for providing the ECU with … Read more
The ECU is the control center of the ABS system, essentially a micro digital computer, typically composed of two microprocessors and other necessary circuits, forming an indivisible unit that cannot be repaired. The basic input signals for the electronic control unit are the wheel speed signals sent from the four wheel sensors, while the output … Read more
The ECU (Electronic Control Unit), as the brain of the car, controls the vehicle’s engine, airbags, anti-lock braking system, etc. In addition to the ECU located in the engine, there are also separate ECUs in other locations of the car, with approximately hundreds of ECUs in a single vehicle. However, with the development of the … Read more
What Is an ECU? ECU, or Electronic Control Unit, also known as the “onboard computer”, is essentially a microcontroller for automobiles. It is composed of a microprocessor, memory, input/output interfaces, analog-to-digital converters, and other large-scale integrated circuits, similar to a regular computer. In simple terms, the ECU is the “brain” of the car. It is … Read more
The ECU, like an ordinary computer, consists of a microcontroller (MCU), memory (ROM, RAM), input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), and large-scale integrated circuits for shaping and driving. In simple terms, you can say that “the ECU is the brain of the car.” Modifying the ECU involves changing the method of addressing issues (the originally … Read more
In the New Electronic Architecture, How Does the Development Trend of Vehicle Controllers Evolve? 1. Controller (ECU): The Core of Functional Control, Assisting in Achieving Various Functions The central control hub for functions, processing input signals to achieve functional control. The automotive controller is a key component for implementing overall vehicle functional control, generally composed … Read more
This article is about 6,200 words, recommended for collection and reading. Author | Zuo Chenggang Produced by | Automotive Electronics and Software #01 Introduction If I had to choose a word to represent the feelings in the automotive industry this year, it would definitely be “intense competition.” For our work, it means working overtime; for … Read more
If we compare the engine to the “heart” of a car, then the car’s “brain” should be the ECU. What is ECU? How does it work? This article provides a detailed analysis. What is ECU? ECU has two full names: Engine Control Unit and Electronic Control Unit. It is easy to see that the former … Read more
As one of the types of industrial control systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are widely used to control critical infrastructure, distributed in the oil, chemical, metallurgy, cement, and water systems, serving as the “brain” for process operators. Their importance is self-evident. In the mid-1970s, decentralized control systems based on microprocessors emerged. After more than 30 … Read more
The ICS Cyber Kill Chain The ICS Cyber Kill Chain is a report written by Michael J. Assante and Robert M. Lee of the SANS Institute, published in 2015. This report describes the specific processes attackers use to target ICS and abstracts these processes into the ICS Cyber Kill Chain. The report outlines two phases … Read more
