To guarantee only one of the TS activation buttons can start the TS, depending on the current Mission and ASMS state according to T 14.5.1 +2. To supervise the EBS monitoring running on the ECU/Autobox using a hardware watchdog. This fulfills T 15.3.2 / T 15.3.4 by immediately triggering the Shutdown Circuit (SDC) if an error occurs within the EBS monitoring or the SDCL communication while in autonomous mode. +3. To facilitate Autonomous System (AS) control over the final closing of the Shutdown Circuit (SDC) when activating the Tractive System (TS) and reopening it upon AS emergencies (T 15.3.5), while strictly prohibiting re-closing of the SDC using hard-wired logic (EV 4.11.5). + +It therefore sits in the last spot before the TSMS in the SDC and is also the link between the TS activation buttons on dashboard and sidepanel and the ECU/Autobox. + +In combination with the PDU and the ECU/Autobox, the SDCL fulfills the (electrical) functionality described in the [FSG21 EBS reference design](https://www.formulastudent.de/fileadmin/user_upload/FSG21_EBS_Reference_Design.pdf). This functionality is safety critical and must be shown in the ASF. + +![](SDCL.png) \ No newline at end of file
