Onboard Systems - Multiplexing  
 

MuxIn-vehicle networking, also known as multiplexing, is a method for transferring data among distributed electronic modules via a serial data bus.

One of the key benefits of the ACTIA MultiBUS multiplexing system is the ability to add functions without adding new hardware or decreasing reliability.

Common sensor and control data, such as vehicle speed, engine temperature, etc. are available on the network, so data can be shared, thus eliminating the need for redundant sensors.

Advantages Of Multiplexing

By reducing the wiring loom and removing the fuse boxes, relays and the associated cabling systems, cable trays, fixing system and other wiring accessories, multiplexing simplifies the vehicle's electronics, whilst at the same time allowing functionality and control that was unheard of by using 'traditional' systems.

MUX Advantages

A Modular Solution

By designing its MultiBUS system in modular form, Actia have developed a very powerful system that can be used on a number of different types of vehicle. Modules are programmed for their use within the system and are linked using a CAN network.

The system functionality can be rapidly changed by modifying the software - often without changing or adding new hardware. This modular design makes such modifications easy to perform and reliable in use.

ECU Sharing

Multiplexing In Action

MultiBUS is a very versatile system. It can be used on the following types of vehicle:- Buses, Coaches, Fire & Rescue, Refuse Collection, Road Sweepers, Rail Maintenance Vehicles - in fact any application requiring the effective and dynamic control or monitoring of the vehicle electrical system.

Multiplexing can control & monitor a wide range of electrical functions (removing the need for individual electronic controllers) including: External lighting, Instrument cluster, Switch panels, Message centre , Door control, Ferry lift, Internal lighting, Heating / Air con, Retarder, Wipers, Mirrors, Kneeling.
