ABSTRACT:
A multiplex control system e.g. for the facia of a vehicle comprises a control unit and a plurality of input elements e.g. control switches connected to a wiring bus, the control unit transmitting a pulse train along the bus and each input element including a circuit which counts the pulses in the train and modifies the jth pulse (where j is a count unique to that particular input element) if that input element is in a predetermined condition (e.g. the control switch is operated). The control unit is arranged to detect any such pulse modification to identify the corresponding input element and e.g. operate a load device accordingly.
