Abstract
A vehicle multiplex system includes a power conductor for conveying electrical power to power-operated units on the vehicle, and a single signal conductor for controlling the connections of power to power-operated units. A multiplex timing unit applys a tri-state timing waveform to the signal conductor. Each of a plurality of control signal transmitters is operative in response to a physical command to apply a corresponding control signal to the signal conductor during a control time period in a channel interval assigned to the particular transmitter. And, each of a plurality of control signal receivers is operative to control the connection of electrical power from the power conductor to a power-operated unit in response to a control signal received from the signal conductor during a control time period in a channel interval assigned to the particulate receiver.
