Electronic door system with a lin-subbus
First Claim
1. An electronic door system, comprising:
- an auxiliary equipment module, provided on a door of a vehicle, and including an electrical parts which has at least one of a motor, a lamp, a heater, a sensor and a switch;
an electronic connector, connected to the auxiliary equipment module to drive a load type electrical parts which has at least one of the motor, the lamp and the heater in the auxiliary equipment module, and including;
a communicating unit, receiving a control signal for controlling the driving of the load type electrical parts;
a control unit, generating a drive signal for driving the load type electrical parts in accordance with either the control signal received by the communicating unit or a signal inputted from the sensor and the switch in the auxiliary equipment module; and
a load driving unit, driving the load type electrical parts in accordance with the drive signal generated by the control unit; and
the electronic door system further comprising an electronic door control unit, provided on the door, connected to a LAN in the vehicle serving as a main bus, and connected to a sub bus connected to the electronic connector,wherein the electronic door control unit converts a communication protocol of the control signal received through the LAN in the vehicle to a communication protocol of the sub bus, and transmits the protocol converted control signal to the electronic connector.

Abstract
Load type electrical parts incorporated in auxiliary machine modules 164a to 184a are driven by electrical connectors 160a to 180a having communicating units, control units and load driving units mounted on electronic boards. An electronic door control unit 200a connected to a sub bus connected to the electrical connectors 160a to 180a converts the communication protocol of a control signal of the load type electrical parts received from a LAN in a vehicle serving as a main bus of the vehicle to the communication protocol of the sub bus and transmits the protocol converted control signal to the electrical connectors 160a to 180a. Further, sensors or switches in the auxiliary machine modules 164a to 184a output signals to the control units.
