Abstract:
1. A method for the control of an assembly by a control unit, in particular in a motor vehicle, wherein the assembly includes at least one component, at least one actuator associated with the component and an additional control unit having a first non-volatile memory section which is connected to the control unit, with the control unit including a second non-volatile memory section, comprising: reading out and transmitting classification information associated with the assembly and stored in the first non-volatile memory section to the control unit, the control unit being distinct and spatially separated from the assembly; storing the transmitted classification information in the second non-volatile memory section of the control unit; and reading out and transmitting the classification information stored in the second non-volatile memory section to the additional control unit, wherein the classification information transmitted to the additional control unit is stored in the first non-volatile memory section if the first non-volatile memory section does not contain any classification information and the classification information transmitted to the additional control unit is not stored in the first non-volatile memory section if the first non-volatile memory section already contains classification information.
