Carling Technologies Multiplex SolutionsCarling Technologies is an industry leader, specializing in highly reliablesolutions for your multiplexing system applications. We provide expertise inthe mechanical, electronic and software development required for a totalvehicle-automationsolution. All standard and custom components meet orexceed IEC and SAE mechanical, electrical and electromagnetic requirements.What Is Multiplexing?Multiplexing is sending simultaneous multiple parallel digital signals orstreams of information on a carrier, in the form of a single, complex signal,and then recovering those separate signals at the receiving end. CAN bushas become the accepted standard for vehicle-multiplexed systems. CarlingTechnologies is experienced with the variations of CAN Bus protocol —J1939, ISO Bus 11783 and LIN bus — and we will develop the optimalsystem based on your specific needs.In analog transmission, signals are commonly multiplexed using frequencydivisionmultiplexing, in which the carrier bandwidth is divided intosub-channels of different frequency widths — each carrying identical parallelsignals. In digital transmission, signals are commonly multiplexed usingtime-division multiplexing, in which the multiple signals are carried over thesame channel in alternating time slots.Benefits of Multiplexed Power Management• Minimizes overall weight by reducing wire size, length and complexity• Eliminates auxiliary components, including flashers and timers• Eliminates conventional fuse boxes, circuit breakers and relays• Simplifies diagnostics• Increases reliability• Manages loads — individual load voltage, current monitoring and reporting• Provides preventive maintenance capability for inductive loads,such as motors and pumps• Provides open and shorted load protection, indication and warning• Adds unparalleled intelligence to your electrical system• Provides flexibility — customizable, scalable and expandable as needed3

Addressable Switches andOperator Control ModulesAddressable Switches and Operator Control Modules

Addressable Switches and Operator Control ModulesAddressable Switches andOperator Control ModulesN-SeriesAddressable SwitchesThe N-Series is a conventional rockeror paddle style switch that is connectedto the ECU rather than the load.Connecting to the ECU allows theswitch to be placed in any panellocation, allowing greater flexibilityin panel design. The switch ID isconfigured through a resistive laddercircuit implemented in the switch,and each switch function is identifiedby a resistor value that is assignedto that function. There are up to144 distinct switch IDs available perswitch grouping. These switchesare available in both two and threeposition, with maintained and momentaryfunctions. The N-Series usessmaller gauge wire than traditionalswitches, thereby reducingthe size, weight and cost of thewire harness.24Operator Control ModulesOperator control modules use industrystandard SAE J1939 CAN and NMEAcommunication protocols.
