Multiplexing system for controlling loads in boats or mobile homes
First Claim
1. A multiplexing system for switching electrical loads, the multiplexing system comprising:
- a bus line;
at least two bus devices for data transfer and connected by said bus line, said bus devices each including;
a number of inputs each connected for delivering an input signal from a signal transmitter;
a number of load outputs each connected to output an output voltage to an electrical load circuit, and each containing a switch element for switching the output voltage; and
a control device for controlling said load outputs according to the input signal applied to an associated one of said inputs, said control device configured so that any of said load outputs can be assigned to said inputs by a logical connection, said control device having a number of base modules having identical hardware, where in each case one of said base modules is connected to each of said bus devices.

Abstract
A multiplexing system for use in a boat or recreation vehicle is used to switch an electric load. The system contains at least two bus devices that are connected via a bus line, whereby each one contains a number of inputs and/or load outputs. Each input can be connected to the signal emitter to guide an input signal, during which each load output, which is used to output an output voltage, can be connected to an electric load circuit and a switch element that is used to switch the output voltage. The system includes a control device used to control each load output according to the input signal that is disposed on an associated input, which can be configured such that each input can be allocated to any particular load output by logical interlinking. The control device is formed from a plurality of hardware-sided identical base modules.
