This ECU is used in every kind of automotive to:
-
Read various vehicle parameters;
-
Translate message from a CAN to another;
-
Manage the correct dialogue between different ECU and different protocols.

This ECU working as a translator box (named Gateway for simplicity) between five CAN networks: two Standard CAN plus three FD-CAN.
The Gateway is needed to adapt a new set of ECU from a new architecture, exchanging information thru FD14-CAN, FD2-CAN, FD3-CAN, to an existing vehicle architecture exchanging information thru C1-CAN, C2-CAN.
