The CBCU3 control unit satisfies the growing demand for reliable and powerful onboard control units by centralizing the intelligence and input / output management of the cabin and body to one device. The CBCU3 allows for the management of both digital and analog input signals. The control unit offers electronically-controlled power outputs with full diagnostic features and an enhanced network functionality using platform multiplexing nodes. The control unit can be connected to a number of different instrument clusters via instrument CAN, including Continental's FlexCluster and MultiViu®Professional12.

The MUX4-Pcu is the master variant of the generic multiplex node MUX4-Pn for general purposes. It is suitable for installation outside the cabin, for instance on the frame of the vehicle. The placement outside the cabin leaves more space in the already filled cabin.

The MUX4-Pcu has a fully water protected and very sturdy housing design with fastening possibilities for the cable harnesses. It provides a high output current capability, built-in diagnostic and protection capabilities including LED diagnostic (according to ISO 13207). The master variant can be connected with up to four MUX4-Pn nodes via a powerful multiplex CAN. The electronic CAN network of the

MUX4-Pcu system covers the powertrain CAN. Additionally, the analog input can be configured as a digital input, if needed.
