Abstract
A circuit configuration, in particular for function modules which can be provided in a motor vehicle and connected to a power supply and/or a control circuit, with the function modules being connected to a common gateway, which is implemented via a central unit, over at least two bus systems. The central unit has a central electric module and a motorist information module; a first bus system is connected to the motorist information module; a second bus system is connected to the central electric module, and the gateway is implemented by a network of computer units and provided in the motorist information module and the central electric module and interconnected for data exchange via an interface.
