Vehicle control system and apparatus therefor
First Claim
1. - A method for automatic storing of configuration file data of at least three electronic modules for the automatic control of vehicle operation, the electronic modules being coupled in a network, the method comprising the steps of, at start-up of the vehicle:
- collecting automatically via the network a value of a parameter stored in the electronic modules, deciding which of the collected values should be maintained as being a correct value of the parameter, sending and/or storing , the correct value of the parameter to electronic modules which did not send this value for the parameter during the collection step.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for a vehicle control system comprising electronic modules used for the automatic control of vehicle operation. The method for automatic storing of configuration file data of at least three electronic modules for the automatic control of vehicle operation, the electronic modules being coupled in a network. Automatically collecting a value of a parameter stored in the electronic modules, deciding which of the collected values should be maintained as being a correct value of the parameter, and sending and/or storing the correct value of the parameter to electronic modules which did not send this value for the parameter during the collection step. A corresponding device is also provided.

24. - A storing device for automatic storing of configuration file data of a plurality of electronic modules for the automatic control of vehicle operation, the electronic modules each comprising a memory, the electronic modules and the storing device being coupled in a network, the storing device comprising:
-
collecting means for automatically collecting values via the network of a parameter retrieved from the memories of the electronic modules, a decision taking means for deciding which of the collected values should be maintained as a correct value, a distribution and/or storing means for sending and/or storing the correct value to electronic modules which do not have that value for said parameter. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
