Vehicle interior temperature function blocks 

The vehicle interior temperature (interior CAN (CAN B): "AirTemp_Insd") can be output at one of the pulse width modulation-compatible outputs.

Formula: duty cycle = (vehicle interior temperature [°C] * 4)/232 [°C]

Value range of vehicle interior temperature 0...58°C
Value range of pulse width modulated signal 0...100 %
Frequency 200 Hz

100 If no air conditioning system is installed ("AAC_VH = [0]"), then the output is constantly switched through (i.e. pulse width modulation (PWM) = 100%).

The vehicle interior temperature is realized through the programmable logic controller (PLC) group, arithmetic unit (AU) and the "MFA" blocks. The picture shows the simplified function block operation. The configuration is available in the tables.
