Location
The power electronics control unit (N129/1) is integrated in the power electronics module and located on the right below exhaust manifold. Shielding occurs by means of a heat shield to protect against thermal radiation.

Interlock circuit
The interlock circuit serves to provide contact protection of persons against accidental touching of high-voltage components. A 12 V/88Hz interlock signal is sent for this purpose through all of the removable or openable components of the high-voltage system. To do this there is a contact bridge in each removable high-voltage plug connection which interrupt the interlock circuit during removal of the high-voltage plug connection. The interlock circuit is also led switched in a series over the 12 V control unit plug connection of the high-voltage components.

High-voltage wiring harness
The power electronics module is a component of the electrical wiring harness which contains the high-voltage fuse box (F70) and the associated high voltage lines. Components must be completely replaced in the case of a defect one of the components in the wiring harness.

Task
General
The power electronics control unit actuates the integrated starter alternator (A79) on request by means of a three-phase AC voltage. It monitors the temperature of the integrated starter alternator and makes diagnoses and predictions available regarding the available torque to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10)

Coding
The power electronics control unit is flashable which means that the complete software in the control unit can be updated. The software required to program the control units is stored on the STAR DIAGNOSIS DAS Update DVD.

CAN data bus
The power electronics control unit is connected via the drive train sensor CAN (CAN I) to the CAN network of the vehicle and exchanges data with the other control units.
