N93 Central gateway control unit

P54.21-2486-06

Location
The central gateway control unit (N93) (CGW) is in the cockpit on Supports flow of information destined for transmission from
the left-hand side (relative to the direction of travel) next to the A- CAN C to the diagnosis bus
pillar. Supports flow of information destined for transmission from
CAN C to the diagnosis bus
task Service processor (Active Service System PLUS (ASSYST
The tasks of the CGW are: PLUS))
Global variant coding Maintenance interval display (Active Service System
Specific variant coding (ASSYST))
Data interface (gateway) between Controller Area Network
bus class B (interior) (CAN-B) and Controller Area Network The CGW forwards global information such as model series and
bus class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) national version to the control units via CAN-B and CAN-C. This
Supports flow of information destined for transmission from data is then transferred to the Controller Area Network (Data bus/
CAN B to the diagnosis bus CAN bus) (CAN) at period intervals.

During normal vehicle operation, information which is available on Interface (gateway) function
one CAN and required to support operation of control units on A distinction is made between 2 types of gateway function:
another CAN is transmitted by the CGW. When the external tester is connected to the system in its
diagnosis mode, the tester's diagnostic data requests are
Diagnosis bus transmitted to the diagnosis bus for subsequent forwarding
The primary purpose of the diagnosis bus is to allow connection of to the CGW. The CGW then sends the diagnostic data
an external tester. The tester is then used to diagnose the control requests to the appropriate control units of CAN-B or CAN-C.

control units of CAN-B or CAN-C to the CGW. The CGW
Data transfer rates in the bus systems then transmits these diagnostic reply messages to the
