Rete di comunicazione di veicolo

In a vehicle communication network, a plurality of electronic control units (44'), ECUs, are arranged in groups. The ECUs pertaining to a same group are coupled to each other via a respective dedicated communication bus (59) operated according to a CAN protocol. A respective local controller (40') including a microcontroller unit (50) is coupled to each group of ECUs (44') via the respective dedicated communication bus (59) to exchange CAN frames therewith. A central controller is coupled to the local controllers (40') via a vehicle communication bus. Electrical loads (402-406) are coupled to the ECUs (44') to receive actuation signals therefrom and/or provide feedback signals thereto. Each microcontroller unit (50) of the local controllers (40') is configured as communication commander device to transmit and receive CAN frames via the respective dedicated communication bus (59). Each of the ECUs (44') includes a respective logic circuit (48') configured as communication responder device. In response to a CAN frame being received from the respective local controller (40'), the logic circuit (48') decodes the received CAN frame to produce the actuation signal for a respective electrical load (402-406). In response to a feedback signal being received from the respective electrical load (402-406), the logic circuit (48') transmits a CAN wake-up frame to the respective local controller (40') and encodes the feedback signal into a CAN frame for transmission to the respective local controller (40').
