Data Processing Device and Method for the Operation Thereof
First Claim
1. A data processing device or tachograph (DTCO) for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- function modules which control specific functions of the data processing device or connected apparatuses,data modules which actuate the function modules in order to utilize the functions, anda communication module which interacts with at least one standard interface module which comprises buffer address areas, wherein the communication module communicates at least one buffer address area to a first data module in order to actuate a first function module.

Abstract
A data processing device (1), particularly a tachograph (DTCO) for a motor vehicle, has functional modules (FM) that control certain functions of the data processing device (1) or connected apparatuses, and data modules (DT) which trigger the functional modules in order to utilize the functions. The disadvantage in prior art lies in the fact that the adjustment effort is substantial because the entire product is adjusted. To decrease the effort required to make modifications while reducing the error proneness of said modifications, a communication module (ComCM) is supplied that cooperates with at least one standard interface module (CM) encompassing memory buffer address areas (SADR 1 to SADR 5), the communication module (ComCM) communicating at least one memory buffer address area (SADR 1) to a first data module (DT) so as to trigger a first functional module (FM).
