Airbag Control Unit T25 (ACU)

Airbag Control Unit T25 (ACU)

Overview

CES has a long history of providing innovative and reliable passive safety systems for renowned sports car, luxury, and mass-market vehicle manufacturers. Our comprehensive system includes an Airbag Control Unit (ACU), two pressure sensors, and four acceleration sensors to detect various crash scenarios.

A key advantage of our solution is the seamless integration of system integration, consulting, calibration, and crash testing services provided by Continental Safety Engineering. Furthermore, we collaborate with preferred partners to supply high-quality airbags, ensuring a complete passive safety solution from a single source.

ACU T25

The Airbag Control Unit (ACU) is the heart of the passive safety restraint system. It hosts all features for front-, rear-, side-and rollover impact protection and includes further legislation relevant functions such as Crash Detection and Event Data Recorder. Additionally, an internal measurement unit (IMU) is integrated.

Satellite Sensor Information

The satellite sensors connected to the ACU consist of pressure and acceleration sensors and ensure the detection of the different crash scenarios. An external IMU can be provided additionally if required.
 
pSAT pressure satellites were developed specifically for side crashes. They are installed in the cavity of the door and rapidly detect the change of pressure within the door, thereby reacting extremely quickly.
 
The acceleration satellite sensors (g-sat) measure and supply the information on the acceleration values in the rigid vehicle structures to the airbag control unit. The airbag control unit can determine both – the duration of intrusion and the intensity of the crash – and activate lifesaving restraint systems in just milliseconds.
 
The components offer excellent quality (close to 0 ppm) and are based on extensive worldwide field experience.
