ABSTRACT:
A multiplex transmission system, in which a plurality of nodes are coupled together through a transmission path, and a node as a transmission node transmits a frame of data including a data area containing transmission data, to other nodes as reception nodes through the transmission path. The frame of data includes a data valid/invalid area having the same bit length as the data area and indicating, bit by bit, the validness/invalidness of the data carried by the corresponding bits in the data area. The system need not be modified depending on the model and grade of vehicles, and can be used widely and applied to various options by the use of a signal allocation system common to different models and grades of vehicles. Those bits in the data area which correspond to the bits in the data valid/invalid area indicative of data invalidness may have values thereof set to a fixed value, so that the reception node judges the transmission node to be defective when a bit of the data valid/invalid area of the received frame and the corresponding bit of the data area of the received frame make a combination of specific values.
