Accord has designed and developed Hardware and basic software for Body Control Module.
The following are the key features Accord developed BCM:
- Fully automotive grade components used in the design
- Low sleep current achieved
- Senses the input triggers from various sources such as internal and external lighting, parking brake sensor, 4WD sensor, wheel etc. either through digital inputs, analog inputs or through the CAN bus
- Drives the load (external lighting, interior lighting, wipers washer, climate control, operator safety, remote start and PTO system) either directly or through relays
- Bluetooth support for remote control operations
- Secure key storage (SHE 1.1)
- Secure communication
- Scalable and Flexible basic software
- Diagnosis
- Program loading through UDS
- Compliance to ISO 26262 functional safety standard
