BMW 3: Tasks
The Electrical Machine Electronics is made up internally of three
subcomponents:
- Bidirectional DC/AC converter
- Unidirectional DC/DC converter
- EME control unit
The Electrical Machine Electronics performs the following functions using the
subcomponents
mentioned:
- Torque restriction of the drivetrain in the event of faults and unstable
driving conditions
- Control of the internal subcomponents by the EME control unit
- Supply of the 12 V electrical system via the DC/DC converter
- Control of the electrical machine (engine speed, torque) using DC/AC
converter
- High-voltage power management
- Contacting the electrical machine
- Contacting the high-voltage battery unit
- Charging the high-voltage battery unit when driving (by energy recovery)
- Communication with other control units, in particular DME, SME and DSC
- Cooling for Electrical Machine Electronics
- Activation of the electric coolant pump for cooling the EME
- Activating the electrical vacuum pump
- Activating the shutoff valve for the vehicle interior
- Evaluation of the second Intelligent Battery Sensor
- Active evaluation of the signal for the high-voltage interlock loop
- Active and passive discharging of the link capacitor to voltages less
then 60 V
- Self-test and diagnosis.

With the G20 PHEV the already familiar Generation 4.0 high-voltage battery
unit with the designation
SP41 is used. The lithium-ion battery has the same basic design as the
Generation 3.0 SP06 high-
voltage battery unit. The same can be found in the G12 PHEV and also in the G30 PHEV.
