The Controller (CON) is the central control element for the Control Display (CD) with display unit Central Information Display (CID).
The folding Controller is on the front end of the armrest between the driver's seat and passenger's seat. For operation, the Controller (CON) must be folded down.
The Controller (CON) is connected directly to the control module of the center console switch center (BZM) by a ribbon-core ribbon cable. From a functional point of view, the center console switch center (BZM) has nothing to do with the Controller. The bus lines K-CAN SYSTEM as well as positive and ground supply are simply looped through the center console switch center (BZM).
The positive and ground connections to the Controller (CON) are split between three separate leads in order to keep the continuous current load at the connector within the permissible limits.
The Control Display (CD) with display unit Central Information Display (CID) is operated using a rotary push button on the Controller (CON). The rotary push button can also be shifted from a resting position in 8 directions.
The Controller (CON) is equipped with a variable tactile feedback for the rotary motion of the rotary push button. When the Controlled is rotated for the purposes of selection functions, it provides tactile (i.e. tangible) feedback. This type of feedback is achieved by activation of a direct current motor in the Controller (CON) with pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals.
The Controller (CON) and Control Display (CD) with display unit Central Information Display (CID) can be used to operate the following functions and/or call up information regarding the functions:
The strength of the tactile feedback differs according to the menu option. It distinguishes, for example, between lists, function blocks or shield areas and end stops.
