Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automobile architecture includes a composite cable, a main electronic control unit, a subsidiary electronic control unit, a motor sensor, and a wheel velocity sensor. In the architecture, the composite cable connects the main electronic control unit and the subsidiary electronic control unit, and the motor sensor and the wheel velocity sensor are connected to the subsidiary electronic control unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An architecture comprising: a composite cable including a first connector and a second connector having a sub wire extending from the second connector, the sub wire has a third connector connected to the sub wire; a main electronic control unit, the first connector being connected to the main electronic control unit; a subsidiary electronic control unit, the second connector being connected to the subsidiary electronic control unit, and the composite cable connects the main electronic control unit and the subsidiary electronic control unit; a motor sensor; and a wheel velocity sensor, the third connector being connected to the wheel velocity sensor, and the motor sensor and the wheel velocity sensor are connected to the subsidiary electronic control unit, the wheel velocity sensor transmits a signal that passes through the composite cable via a circuit in the subsidiary electronic control unit, and the signal transmitted by the wheel velocity sensor is received by the main electronic control unit. 2. The architecture according to claim 1 , wherein the main electronic control unit and the subsidiary electronic control unit transmit and receive a controller area network (CAN) communication. 3. The architecture according to claim 2 , wherein the composite cable includes a pair of power supply lines, a pair of signal lines, and a sheath that covers the pair of power supply lines and the pair of signal lines together. 4. The architecture according to claim 3 , wherein the pair of signal lines is not covered with a shield conductor. 5. The architecture according to claim 4 , wherein the pair of power supply lines is not covered with the shield conductor. 6. The architecture according to claim 3 , wherein the pair of power supply lines is not covered with a shield conductor. 7. The architecture according to claim 1 , wherein the composite cable includes a pair of power supply lines, a pair of signal lines, and a sheath that covers the pair of power supply lines and the pair of signal lines together. 8. The architecture according to claim 7 , wherein the pair of signal lines is not covered with a shield conductor. 9. The architecture according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of power supply lines is not covered with the shield conductor. 10. The architecture according to claim 7 , wherein the pair of power supply lines is not covered with a shield conductor. 11. The architecture according to claim 7 , wherein the pair of power supply lines and the pair of signal lines are twisted together to constitute a wire bundle, and the wire bundle and the sheath are provided therebetween with an intermediate layer covering the wire bundle. 12. The architecture according to claim 11 , further comprising a ground wire inside the sheath. 13. The architecture according to claim 7 , further comprising a ground wire inside the sheath.
