Abstract

The system includes a central memory, in which all programs necessary for controlling/regulating the operational sequences of a vehicle are stored. At the start of the system, the control units load the needed programs into their working memory via indirect memory access. The method provides that, after the system is switched on, the units first identify themselves. After that, by means of the loading programs, the programs are loaded from the central memory into the working memory of each control unit via indirect memory access.
