Low Power Consumption Control With BCM

BCM reduces the power consumption with the following operation in the low power consumption mode.

• The reading interval of the switches changes from 10 ms interval to 60 ms interval.

Sleep mode activation

• BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and combination meter via CAN communication.
• BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled.
• Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wake up signal. BCM is in CAN communication sleep mode.
• BCM is in the low power consumption mode and performs the low power consumption control when all of the BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.

Wake-up operation

• BCM transmits sleep wake up signal (wake up) to each unit when any condition listed below is established, and then goes into normal mode from low power consumption mode.
• Each unit starts transmissions with CAN communication by receiving sleep wake up signals. Each unit transmits wake up signals to BCM with CAN communication to convey the start of CAN communication.
