Enumeration Literals
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ECU | Electronic Control Unit. An electronic control unit (ECU) is any embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more of the electrical systems or subsystems in a vehicle. |
| Sensor | A sensor is a device that detects changes to the environment and sends them as information to other devices (e.g. an ECU). |
| Actuator | An actuator is a device that is responsible for controlling or moving a mechanism. |
| CouplingDevice | A CouplingDevice is the (virtual) device that separates / connects two or more wiring harnesses. "Virtual" because it can be interpreted as a device / interface definition between the harnesses, where one harness behaves like an E/E component form the point of view of the other harness. |
| EnergyStorage | A device that stores energy in some kind of way (e.g. a battery). |
| Generator | A device that can generate energy. |
| PowerDistribution | A device that distributes power to other devices (e.g. a fuse box). |
| Switch | A "Switch" is a device that can change its internal connectivity in reaction to some external action (e.g. connect / disconnect some pins). A switch has no "active" logic (in contrast to an ECU). |
| OpenEnd | Defines that this NetworkNode is the end point for some unconnected nets that require wires and routings in the resulting harness (e.g. an antenna). A NetworkNode of this type is used whenever nets shall not be connected (on one side). |
| Ground | Defines that this NetworkNode is a grounding point. |
