The OpenECU M580 is designed for use as a powertrain supervisory controller in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The M5xx family of ECUs are designed to integrate into vehicle architectures where the ECU power source is provided by a DC/DC converter (not an engine-start battery).The M560 includes two microcontrollers, considered primary and secondary. The architecture allows for the secondary to have access to a sub-set of input and output signals for safety purposes.
The OpenECU™ M580 Electronic Control Unit is designed with functional safety process for Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and Vehicle Charge Control Unit (VCCU) to support the most demanding 24 V systems of commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) / Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) supervisory control applications. Since most supervisory controls demand the highest level of functional safety, the M580 was developed as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) following ISO 26262.
The M580 ECU is supported by a high-performance SPC5746 primary microprocessor and a powerful 32-bit SPC560P34 secondary microprocessor providing sophisticated, high-bandwidth rationality checking and system safety monitoring of full-authority vehicle control applications.
