OVERVIEW

Introducing M580

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.

OpenECU M580

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.

The M580 is designed to support EV / HEV supervisory control applications, the integrated charging circuitry eliminates the need for a separate charger interface module.

Due to its high quantity of customizable I/O, advanced microprocessor, safety-oriented architecture and user friendly OpenECU Simulink application interface, the M580 is a great rapid control prototyping platform for a broad range of applications. Dana also offers control algorithm for Electric Vehicle Model in MATLAB and Combined Charging System (CCS) suitable to support most EV / HEV / NEV architectures and following SAE J1772 and DIN 70121 standards. With the M560 or M580 Supervisory Control and Combined Charging System (CCS) control algorithms customers get an integrated module with Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and Charge Management Unit (CMU) in one module i.e. two ECUs in a single controller.

APPLICATIONS

M580 Applications Include:

VCU + VCCU (Integrated)The M580 provides capability for both VCU and VCCU application i.e. supervisory control and charge management in a single ECU.

Application Description
Vehicle Control Unit (24V System) Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) provides torque coordination, charge control, power management, thermal management, vehicle speed limiting and more for Electric Vehicle (EV) or Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) architectures with 24 V systems with CAN and J1939 communication buses.
Vehicle Charge Control Unit (24V System) A Vehicle Charge Control Unit (VCCU) or Vehicle Communication and Charging Control (VCCC) is an ECU which manages the charging of Electric Vehicle or Hybrid Electric Vehicles. With Powerline Communication (PLC) the M580 provides charging circuitry for charging applications following SAE J1772 and DIN 70121 standards.
