Vehicle control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device comprising:
- a plurality of functional modules each of which has only one part that makes an output potential different from an input potential due to an operation thereof and, from the one part, a module providing an output potential equal to an input potential is not capable of being separated; and
signal lines and power lines connected to the plurality of functional modules, whereineach of the functional modules has an interface surface on one side surface thereof, to which both of the signal line and the power line are connected,each of the interface surfaces is divided into a first interface area in which a signal line terminal connected to the signal line is placed, and a second interface area in which a power line terminal connected to the power line is placed, andthe plurality of functional modules are adjacently arranged such that the interface surfaces face in a same direction, the first interface areas are located on one side in common, and the second interface areas are located on the other side in common.

Abstract
A vehicle control device includes plural functional modules each of which is a minimum part unit that contributes to change in input/output potentials, and has an input and an output of one power line or one set of power lines, except for power lines having a same potential as that on an overhead wire side or that on a ground side. The functional module has an interface surface on one side surface, to which both of a signal line and the power line are connected. Each interface surface is divided into a first interface area in which a signal line terminal connected to the signal line is placed, and a second interface area in which a power line terminal connected to the power line is placed. The plural functional modules are adjacently arranged such that the interface surfaces face in a same direction, the first interface areas are located on one end side in common, and the second interface areas are located on the other end side in common.
