Research on body (zone) domain controller: an edge tool to reduce vehicle costs, and enable hardware integration + software SOA.

Integration is the most important means to lower vehicle costs. Function integration within the body domain has become widespread. Traditional BCM, seat, PEPS, TPMS, power distribution box, gateway and other functions tend to be controlled in a centralized way. Zoning is the inevitable result of cross-domain integration design, which can reduce wiring harnesses and help reduce vehicle costs and improve efficiency. Traditional BCM (body control module) is evolving towards BDC (body domain controller) and ZCU (zone control unit).
?
Zone control unit (ZCU) is a device based on BDC and connected to the vehicle according to the physical zone. At present, it mainly integrates three modules, i.e., vehicle control unit (VCU), thermal management system (TMS), and body control module (BCM), and enables three functions of electrical appliances in the zone, i.e., power distribution, communication gateway and standard I/O control. The core value of zonal architecture is to create highly integrated electronic and electrical connections and standardized and service-oriented interfaces by separating software and hardware, realize hardware platform reuse and faster and more efficient function updates and iterations, and accelerate the development of vehicle intelligence.??

Seen from the central computing + zone control architecture planned by OEMs, their ZCUs now have taken shape, but their progress in mass production varies greatly. Xpeng, GAC, Xiaomi, FAW Hongqi and Chery among others have mass-produced ZCUs for their latest models, while NIO, Neta Auto, Great Wall Motor and foreign OEMs like Volkswagen, BMW and Volvo will mass-produce ZCUs and install them in vehicles during 2024-2026.

Changan’s SDV architecture: the architecture consists of a central computing platform composed of C2 (central computer) + EDC (experience computer), and three vehicle integration units (VIUs). Wherein, C2 delivers computing power of up to 508TOPS, and EDC offers graphics compute of 2000GFLOPS, realizing classified, centralized and reasonably arranged full-vehicle computing power.

According to Changan, as traditional BCM evolves into BDC and VIU, the integration level is gradually improved and the integration scope is also expanded from traditional body to power, chassis, thermal management and other domains. The higher integration level makes the number of I/Os increase. From BCM to VIU, the number of I/Os integrated has increased from 100+ to 800+, and the size of a single controller can be reduced by dividing it into several VIUs.???

ZCU integrates control functions and is equipped with a high-performance MCU, eliminating scattered MCUs.

Under zonal architecture, the domain gateway will evolve into a zonal gateway, and ZCU will take on some functions of the zone information center and gateway and be responsible for communication management and information forwarding between submodules in the zone. The zonal architecture takes each controller as a zone controlled by a gateway which is placed near the components it takes charge of, and each zonal gateway is connected to the central computing platform.??

In zonal architecture, a ZCU will integrate multiple ECU functions. A multi-core MCU is often required to implement multiple functions. In the multi-core MCU, each core can run a single function. In addition, the master MCU in the ZCU will require higher computing performance and storage capacity, rich CAN/LIN and high-speed vehicle Ethernet communication interfaces, and lower power consumption indicators.???

Infineon AURIX TC4x: TC4x microcontroller is designed by Infineon for ZCU and HPC applications. To satisfy the requirements of ZCU architecture and realize the multi-ECU integration of ZCU, Infineon Aurix TC4x microcontroller gets upgraded in terms of functional safety, information security, high-speed internal communication routing and core. The MCU contains 6 TriCore 1.8 embedded cores, and the clock frequency of each core can reach up to 500MHz.?

As intelligent driving booms, foundation models require higher computing power. To this end, Infineon integrates a PPU (Parallel Processing Unit) in TC4x products to implement models that require massive data processing or fast execution time, for example, signal filtering, algorithm processing and model predictive control. With higher computing efficiency, the PPU undertakes complex signal processing and mathematical operations such as AI, motor control, and zone control, for Tricore cores which are mainly used for control. After integrating the PPU coprocessor, TC4x boasts computing power of 8000DMIPS+72GFLOPS*1, of which the PPU contributes 72GFLOPS.?

At present, Infineon's Aurix TC4x microcontroller has been used to develop multiple ZCUs, including ZCU platforms of Tier1s like Continental, G-Pulse Electronics and Marelli.

Marelli ZCU: In April 2024, Marelli announced a zone control unit (ZCU) based on Infineon's AURIX TC4x microcontroller. Placed in specific zones of the vehicle and manage various functions, the ZCU? consolidates electronic control units (ECUs) from multiple domains – including lighting, body, audio, power distribution, propulsion, thermal management, chassis control, and vehicle diagnostics. These solutions, combined with service-oriented software and cloud virtualization, enable customization of key vehicle performance through customized application software and functions.???

ZCU integrates power distribution function and realizes intelligent power distribution via e-Fuse.

Under zonal architecture, the power distribution mode of vehicles will change from traditional fuse box power distribution to ZCU power distribution. ZCU integrates the surrounding electronic systems according to the physical location, with the integrated functions including BCM, power, chassis, thermal management and gateway. For the working voltages of the connected sensors and actuators are inconsistent, ZCU needs to be responsible for power supply and power management of electrical appliances in the zone to improve power efficiency and safety.??????

ZCU power supply adopts hierarchical distribution.

Under zonal architecture, zonal power supply generally adopts a hierarchical distribution method: 1. Primary distribution network (backbone power supply network) that requires dual power supplies (redundant backup) to transmit power from the backbone network to ZCUs; 2. Secondary distribution network where ZCU is responsible for further transmitting power downward to the underlying controller.??

G-Pulse Electronics' power distribution solution based on “1+1+N” architecture: the architecture is composed of 1 central computing unit, 1 intelligent power distribution unit, and 4 ZCUs. Wherein, the intelligent power distribution unit includes primary power distribution, and can act as a separate power distribution controller, or integrate with the front zone control unit (FZCU) to form a primary and secondary power distribution solution, thus saving a primary power distribution unit. ZCUs are based on Infineon Aurix TC4x family, with different configurations required for customers’ vehicle models.???

The front zone control unit (FZCU) in this solution integrates primary and secondary power distribution, front cabin thermal management and other functions. It is connected to two DCDC converters plus a battery for power redundancy. The primary power distribution provides a power distribution solution for the left/right/rear zone control unit through the front zone; the left/right/rear zone control unit each provide a secondary power distribution channel, and there is also a two-layer stacking board approach (1 distribution board + 1 control board) in the front zone, which allows for better centralization and better isolation and power distribution, including the thermal management and drive requirements of the front cabin.????

Jingwei Hirain’s physical ZCU: the ZCU meets ASIL B/D functional safety requirements, and integrates the signal acquisition and load drive of the new energy power domain, partial chassis domain, body comfort, and air conditioning thermal management control, as well as primary power distribution, secondary power distribution and zonal gateway functions. The hardware architecture is based on a multi-core MCU processor, deploys standard AUTOSAR CP software, and integrates electromechanical control algorithms such as power distribution algorithm, DC motor closed-loop control algorithm and anti-pinch algorithm, thermal protection algorithm, and authentication and localization algorithms for entry and startup.???

ZCU realizes intelligent power distribution via e-Fuse.

ZCU will use e-Fuse (intelligent fuse module) to replace the traditional relay + fuse solution. e-Fuse is an integrated circuit that integrates MOSFET, drive, logic circuit, diagnosis and other modules on a single chip. It adopts a software protection strategy for circuit detection, diagnosis and OTA updates to achieve intelligent power distribution and energy-efficient scheduling, thereby reducing energy consumption and increasing cruising range.

UAES: UAES's ZCU uses e-Fuse for intelligent power distribution and supports fault diagnosis and fuse self-recovery. Jointly created by UAES and TE Connectivity, this local power distribution network management solution optimizes the matching of E-fuse and wiring harness design in intelligent power distribution scenarios. Through e-Fuse intelligent power distribution, it enables separate and directional power distribution control according to working requirements of ECUs. It can cut vehicle wiring harness length by 25%, optimize wiring harness path by 28%, and reduce the number of vehicle distribution circuits by 10%.???

UAES’ explorations in intelligent power distribution application in ZCU:
Case 1: When charging, cut off body-related radars to reduce power consumption and increase charging speed;
Case 2: In sentry mode (i.e., when a vehicle is in the parking state, once it is hit or moved, the exterior camera will record surroundings and notify the owner via mobile phone APP), cut off all controllers related to intelligent driving to save power and increase cruising range;
Case 3: When the system predicts thermal runaway risks, only retain the power consumption of safety-related components to lower the risks; in addition, upload the accessory data to allow customers to obtain power usage of most ECU controllers in different scenarios, optimizing overall power distribution of the vehicle.??

ZCU software: Implement function call and platform-based portability via SOA, helping to cut costs.

As the I/O control center in a zone, ZCU not only integrates functions of individual body domain controllers such as air conditioning control, door control, and seat control, but will also gradually integrate more cross-domain function modules such as suspension control and radar interface in the future. Wherein, most of logical calculations of software will be moved up to the central computing platform, and ZCU will only be responsible for signal acquisition and hardware driver at the bottom layer, so that I/O can be extracted from the central computing platform, realizing separation of software and hardware and making it easier for OEMs to integrate functions across domains.?????

To reduce costs, ZCU needs to improve scalability and versatility, and use standardized hardware platforms to adapt to different vehicle configurations of various OEMs. ZCU also makes a gradual shift from signal-based services to service-based SOA design. This process requires ZCU to standardize interfaces, transform services, and manage packaging at the function level (body comfort, AC, chassis, HCU, etc.) to facilitate the central computing platform to flexibly call functions. Therefore, ZCU requires a highly integrated, standardized, and customizable design.??
