Flexible Electronics Integration Platform for future Transmission Applications - (PPT)

摘要

Integrated electronic control units (also known as Electronic Modules) are used in many transmissions. The integration provides advantages regarding the conception and weight of the transmission, reduces the number of connectors and cables through the transmission housing and improves the quality of the system. Reduced complexity regarding handling, logistics and testing offers cost reduction potential in the transmission maker's value chain. On the other hand, integration of electronics into the transmission increases the requirements for temperature-, vibration- and media resistance. In today's production applications, technologies are used, which lead to significant one-time costs (e.g. processing tools and application specific geometries) or special electronic technologies. Those technologies are proven to fulfill the technical requirements. From a commercial point of view, however, they are limited to high volume transmission projects with long lifetime.
