Abstract
In a multiplex communication system, as to all of the vehicles, the arbitrarily-mounted apparatuses can be connected to the transmission path, and also only the arbitrarily-mounted apparatus having the specific output circuit is separately and selectively can be connected to the transmission path, depending upon such a specific attribute condition when the individual vehicle is supplied, and this specific output circuit is suitable for this specific attribute condition. Accordingly, as the arbitrarily-mounted apparatus suitable for the respective attribute conditions, all of the output functions, all of the output functions which are not required for these attribute conditions can be excluded, and the useless output circuits can be omitted, resulting in a cost reduction. Thus, it is possible to realize the space-saving on-vehicle multiplex communication system. At the same time, only the minimum number of arbitrarily-mounted apparatus is merely added so as to change the other vehicle sorts and the other vehicle destination regions.
