Method and device for controlling operating sequences
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an operating sequence, comprising the steps of:
- causing a processor module including a predetermined number of select interfaces to select a peripheral element in accordance with a select signal output over one of the select interfaces;
transmitting an instruction to the peripheral element over at least one information interface of the processor module;
assigning a selection identifier to the instruction; and
transmitting the selection identifier together with the instruction, wherein;
a selection of the select peripheral element is made by the select signal and the selection identifier.

Abstract
A method and a device having a processor module for controlling operating sequences, in particular in an engine control unit in a motor vehicle, peripheral elements being selected by a processor module having a predetermined number of select interfaces by select signal output over these select interfaces, and instructions being transmitted to the peripheral elements over at least one information interface of the processor module. Selection identifiers are assigned to the instructions and transmitted together with them. Thus, a selection of peripheral elements is made by a select signal and a selection identifier.
