9.1.2 Serial lines and networks
The Famiglia 1 architecture, especially designed for the Nuova Punto, controls the vehicle’s
electric system.
As regards the system’s optimization, the architecture follows the topological, local approach:
each control unit (either electronic or electro-mechanic) is placed in a barycentric position with
respect to the functions managed.
This makes it possible to minimize the power and signal distributing system, even by making
extensive use of the serial communication lines, thus making it possible to solve the
dimension, reliability, weight and cost problems.
