1. A method for controlling energy sources or energy sinks on an energy accumulator in a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

  • measuring at least one parameter which characterizes the state of charge of the energy accumulator,transmitting the parameter which characterizes the state of charge of the energy accumulator to a control unit,prioritizing data from a plurality of modules by a data mask;

    adapting and filtering the data based at least in part on data formats;

    generating by the control unit at least one control signal as a function of the parameter which is characteristic of the state of charge of the energy accumulator, which control signal controls energy sinks or energy sources which are connected directly or indirectly to the energy accumulator, in terms of the power which they consume from the energy accumulator or the power which they emit to the energy accumulator, andcalculating by the control unit the energy consumption of energy sinks on a planned route in advance, wherein the data is weighted to minimize processing time.
