Page 8: System Components: Overview
2. SYSTEM COMPONENTS: OVERVIEW ® The PowerPlex system of E-T-A is a comprehensive on-board system combining safety, convenience and reliability. PowerPlex ® allows individual and flexible concepts of switching the illumination, acoustic and special signals and lots more. It automatically switches loads and immediately indicates undesired conditions of the devices or of the entire electrical installation. - Page 9 ® PowerPlex communication is based on the CAN bus principle by means of “nodes”, which communicate with each other via a serial 2-wire connection. Hence the key components of a PowerPlex ® system are these nodes ® distributed over the vehicle or boat. The overall PowerPlex term for these interconnected nodes is “module".
