Location 

The AWF controller unit with radar sensor is located in the middle in the radiator trim behind the brand emblem. The brand emblem shields the AWF controller unit with radar sensor against external effects (for example dirt, ice or insects).

Task 

The AWF controller unit with radar sensor assesses the traffic events ahead of the vehicle and in the process permanently determines the risk potential for a possible collision. This means that the AWF controller unit with radar sensor has the following individual tasks:

Reading in input factors 

The AWF controller unit with radar sensor receives input factors via the front end CAN (CAN G) from the AWF Gateway (N93/2), which primarily functions as a central data interface between the front end CAN and the interior CAN (CAN B) and receives the input factors from other control units. The resulting functions are described in the respective function descriptions (see appropriate block diagram or function schematic). The input factors are read in via the following connection:

Front end CAN 

The AWF controller unit with radar sensor receives input factors including the following:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors are evaluated by the integral microprocessor of the AWF controller unit with radar sensor and the corresponding assembly parts are actuated.

Transmission of initial parameters 

Transmission of initial parameters takes place over the following connections:

Front end CAN 

The AWF controller unit with radar sensor transmits initial parameters via the front end CAN to the AWF Gateway including those which routes these for further processing on the interior CAN:

Structure 

The following components are integrated in the AWF controller unit with radar sensor:
