ABSTRACT:
A multiplex system for addressing, commanding and monitoring the status of a plurality of electrical devices disposed throughout a motor vehicle. A dual-duty cycle type voltage waveform generated by a microcomputer provides a series of address information signals for enabling individual dual controllers connected to a bi-directional single wire bus coupled at one end to a driver and receiver circuit of the microcomputer. After the individual dual controller is addressed, another portion of the waveform enable the addressed controller to use a voltage signal to operate one of the connected pair of elements. Then, another portion of the waveform provides a binary bit used by the addressed controller for establishing the polarity of the command voltage to turn ON and OFF the addressed control element. Circuit within the addressed controller provide current signals indicative of the status of the commanded element.
