Multiplex transmission system for vehicle
First Claim
1. A communication system for a vehicle in which signals are given and received via a communication medium between a plurality of peripheral stations and a central station in the vehicle, said plurality of peripheral stations being positioned at various places in the vehicle,each of said peripheral stations comprising:
- inputting means having inputs, said inputting means for inputting at each input an input signal output from a working member,sending means for sending a sending signal including said input signals to said central station via said communication medium,input/output means having outputs, each output connected to a working member and having an output position with respect to the other outputs, said input/output means for inputting a control signal from said central station via said communication medium and directly outputting on each output an output signal included in the control signal; and
said central station receiving said sending signals from said plurality of peripheral stations via said communication medium, generating said control signalswherein each of said peripheral stations receiving a control signal, receives said control signal via said communication medium, and directly outputs said output signals within said control signal on said peripheral station'"'"'s corresponding outputs.

Abstract
A multiplex transmission system for a vehicle is constructed such that signals are given and received via a communication line between a plurality of peripheral stations and a central station. The plurality of peripheral stations are arranged at various places such as a door system, an engine system and the like. Each of the peripheral stations is constructed such that an input signal from the plurality of working members (a door lock, a power window and the like) is sent to the central station via the communication line. A control signal from the central station is input via the communication line 5 by the peripheral stations to output to the plurality of working members. Depending on the bit unit form of the control signal working members are actuated. The central station processes data sent by the peripheral stations to generate the control signal.
