Front Electronic Module (FEM) Comprehensive introduction
The Front Electronic Module (FEM) represents a new generation which supersedes existing control units and their functions. As a result of the modular principle, the Front Electronic Module (FEM) can be installed in all series. The Front Electronic Module (FEM) is the central control unit in the vehicle electrical system. At the same time, the Front Electronic Module (FEM) is the gateway for the other control units. The Front Electronic Module (FEM) provides functions from the previous control units footwell module (FRM), Car Access System (CAS), Junction Box Electronics (JBE) and central gateway module (ZGM).
The central gateway module (ZGM) is installed in the Front Electronic Module (FEM) as an independent control unit. The aim is to reduce the number of control units and improve component networking. At the same time, the optimisation of the wiring harness reduces the physical bus capacity.
The following functions of the Car Access System (CAS) have been integrated in the Front Electronic Module (FEM).
Terminal control
Electronic immobiliser
Comfort Access
Electric steering lock
Central locking system
The following functions of the Junction Box Electronics (JBE) have been integrated in the Front Electronic Module (FEM).
Power window regulator
Wash/wipe system
Washer jet heating
Climate control
Seat heating
Mirror heating
Automatic air recirculation control
Rain-light-solar-condensation sensor
The following functions of the footwell module (FRM) have been integrated in the Front Electronic Module (FEM).
Exterior lighting
Brake light
Interior lighting
Exterior mirrors
The central gateway module (ZGM) is integrated in the Front Electronic Module (FEM). It is seen as a control unit within the control unit, as the central gateway module (ZGM) acts as a self-sufficient control unit within the Front Electronic Module (FEM).
The task of the central gateway module (ZGM) is to connect all bus systems. This combination allows general use of information from the individual bus systems. The central gateway module (ZGM) is able to implement various reports and speeds on other bus systems. The programming data are transferred to the vehicle by Ethernet via the central gateway module (ZGM).
Brief component description
Front electronic module (FEM): Front Electronic Module
The Front Electronic Module (FEM) is located in the A-pillar of the passenger footwell and controls all functions in the front section of the vehicle.
The Front Electronic Module (FEM) is the control unit which controls entry and access to the vehicle. The electronic immobiliser is deactivated via key identification, thus enabling engine start and other vehicle functions.
