GF54.30-P-6000FL Component Description For Instrument Cluster


Component Identification:





Component Identification:






Location
The instrument cluster is located in the dashboard on the driver- side.

Task
The instrument cluster has the following tasks:
^ Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
^ Evaluation of input factors
^ Actuating components
^ Output of warning tones and indicator tones
^ Output of signals

Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
The instrument cluster reads in the input factors via the following connections:
^ Interior CAN (CAN B)
^ Chassis CAN (CAN E)

Interior CAN
The signals are read in by the instrument cluster over the interior CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Chassis CAN
The signals are read in by the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Evaluation of input factors
The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the affected components are then actuated.

Component actuation
The instrument cluster directly actuates all internal actuators (e.g. indicator and warning lamps, stepper motors of displays, multifunction display) as well as the instrument illumination.

Output of warning tones and indicator tones
For the output of warning and indicator chimes which are requested by the systems installed in the vehicle, the instrument cluster actuates the warning buzzer (A1h1) or the acoustic function check for turn signal lights (A1h2) (output of turn signal ticking).

Output of signals
The output of signals is carried out over the following connection:
^ Interior CAN
^ Chassis CAN

Interior CAN
The signals are sent by the instrument cluster over the interior CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Chassis CAN
The signals are sent by the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN.
The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).
