Method of managing malfunctions of a modular-architecture control system of a motor vehicle power plant and corresponding control system
First Claim
1. A method for managing information exchanged within a modular-architecture control system of a motor vehicle drive train and values of which are likely to be affected by a malfunction of the control system and/or of the drive train, the method comprising:
- receiving, at least one acquisition module, input indications representing a possible malfunction of the at least one acquisition module or of another module;
outputting information items from the at least one acquisition module to another module; and
assigning, via a processor, each information item a validity indication having a confidence level value representing the accuracy of the information item, the validity indication being generated by the at least one acquisition module based on the input indications received by the at least one acquisition module.

Abstract
A method of managing information interchanged within a modular-architecture control system of a motor vehicle power plant and values of which are liable to be affected by malfunctioning of the control system and/or of the power plant. In the method an indication of the validity of the value of the information is allocated to each of the information items, this indication of validity being formulated by a module that generates the information on the basis of input indications received by the generating module and representative of a potential malfunctioning of this generating module or of another module.

7. A modular-architecture control system for a motor vehicle drive train, comprising:
a plurality of acquisition modules configured to exchange information having values which are likely to be affected by a malfunction of the control system or the drive train, each of the acquisition modules including; an input that receives input indications representative of a possible malfunction of the acquisition module or of another module, an output that transmits at least one information item to another module, and a generator that assigns, via a processor, each information item a validity indication having a confidence level value representing the accuracy the value of the information item. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
