Abstract
An environmental control system includes a broadcast-type controller area network (CAN) bus and a plurality of configurable modular controllers coupled to the CAN bus. Each of the plurality of configurable modular controllers includes a modular controller card with a microprocessor and a modular driver board configured to connect and disconnect to and from the controller card. The environmental control system further includes one or more sensors and a primary controller. The sensors are configured to sense one or more parameter values and to provide the one or more parameter values on the CAN bus. The primary controller is configured to communicate with each of the configurable modular controllers via the CAN bus.
