Installation for operating at least one seat module
First Claim
1. An installation for operating a plurality of seat modules each equipped with an assembly of actuators each intended for adjusting an element of the associated seat module, said installation comprising:
- a plurality of control units, each individually associated with one of said seat modules, for controlling the actuators of the associated seat module from means for the input of commands, said control units each comprising means for the acquisition of variables which represent the functioning state of the associated seat module and which are measured by sensors mounted on said associated seat module; and
a common central management unit for the management of the seat modules, which is connected to each control unit, said common central management unit comprising information transmission means for transmitting information to each control unit, each control unit comprising transmission means for transmitting at least some of the variables representing the functioning state of the associated seat module to the common central management unit, and said common central management unit comprising means for processing the transmitted variables.

Abstract
The invention relates to an installation for operating seat modules (12) equipped with an assembly of actuators (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44) each intended for adjusting a seat element (22, 24, 26, 28). It comprises a control unit (16) suited to each seat module (12). This control unit (16) comprises means (62) for the acquisition of variables representing the functioning state of the seat module.
A central unit (18) for the management of the seat modules (12) is connected to the control unit (16). It comprises means (96) for the transmission of information toward the control units (16).
Each control unit (16) comprises means (66) for the transmission of variables representing the functioning state of the associated seat module toward the central management unit (18).
