Figure 12.1: Overview NM Its main purpose is to coordinate the transition between normal operation and bus-sleep mode of the underlying networks (Partial Networks, VLANs or physical channel) in internally coordinated state machines. It provides a Serviceinterface to the Statemanagement for requesting and releasing networks and querying their actual state. It coordinates the requests of different instances (Network Handles) and provides an aggregated machine request over the network.. If the Partial Networking feature is used the Nm messages can contain Partial Network (PN) requests, giving the ECU the possibility to ignore Nm messages which do not request any PN which is relevant to the ECU. This gives the possibility to shut down the ECU (or parts of it), although communication is still going on in other Partial Networks.
