General function description

System description

The FBS system is used for the Passive Start- and Entry-System (PASE), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Immobilization
It consists of

• HCP4 control unit with integrated FBS blocks (LF transmitter and RF transceiver)
• inductive LF antennas
• key

A vehicle unlock/lock request is triggered via capacitive touch sensors around the car (e.g. at the door handles). The car will be unlocked / locked after a successful authentication of the key outside the vehicle. The engine can be started by pushing the Start Stop Button at the center console after authentication of a valid key inside the passenger compartment.

Summarized the ECU allows comfortable operation of the vehicle (access, start and immobilization) without using the key actively.
The vehicle communicates with the key inductively via ferrite- antennas, which are placed around the car body (amount and position depending on the carline). These ferrite antennas are driven by the LF-driver of the FBS system with 125 kHz.
Within the specified range the key responds via Radio Frequency (RF) telegrams, which are received by the integrated RF-transceiver. If the key is located on the right position, the RF transceiver transmits a RF telegram (challenge).
The Key answers with a 2nd RF telegram (Response
The RF answer of the key are evaluated by the HCP4 control module.

With a valid key, dependent of the user request, doors are unlocked, locked or the engine is started after key authentication.

Power supply

The E3HCP422 is supplied via the vehicle battery
Positive: 7 module pins (KI30 2, KI30 2, KI30 3, KI30 4, KI30 4, KI30 6, KI30 secure)

LF- driver DCDC converter

A step-up-converter (DC/DC) generates a stabilized voltage to supply the LF antenna driver CENDRIC during the LF transmission.

Block diagram: The RF block consist of two antennas a switch for selecting one of them and a RF module with a Transmitter-Receiver integrated with Matching a SAW- Filter.

RF Communication

RKE communication:
For an RKE access the Key transmits a Telegram (Request)to the Car and is answered with a Telegram form the Car to the Key (Challenge) followed by another Telegram form the Key (Response) the communication is ended with the last Telegram (Acknowledge)

If the communication is not successful or interrupted, it is retried two more times on the other channels.

PASE communication
During a PASE event e.g. a door handle is pulled the communication is triggered with LF and the Key sends a Telegram to the Car (Challenge) and is answered with a Telegram (Response)
