Abstract
A control system in an atmospheric suit includes a broadcast-type controller area network (CAN) bus and a plurality of motor controllers coupled to the CAN bus. Each of the plurality of motor controllers has a same software design and performs a different control operation based on an assigned hardware address. The control system also includes one or more sensors to sense one or more parameter values in the atmospheric suit and to provide the one or more parameter values on the CAN bus. A primary controller communicates with the plurality of motor controllers via the CAN bus and provides communication to a wearer of the atmospheric suit or communication outside the atmospheric suit outside the CAN bus.
