Abstract

The invention relates to a control module for a service system of a vehicle. The cabin services system may include a control module unit; a pair of power rails configured to provide mechanical attachment and electrical power to the control module unit; and a plurality of cabin services, wherein the control module is communicatively coupled to the plurality of cabins Services to provide control of multiple cabin services. The control module unit may include a plurality of communication ports, and a plurality of relays coupled to at least one communication port of the plurality of communication ports, wherein each communication port of the plurality of communication ports corresponds to at least one cabin service of the plurality of cabin services , and wherein each relay of the plurality of relays provides discrete control of an associated cabin service of the plurality of cabin services.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to vehicle system controls and, more particularly, to control module units for service systems of vehicles. Background technique [0002] Many commercial vehicles (eg, airplanes) utilize cabin service systems to provide multiple services to the vehicle. Some cabin services address basic needs (e.g., of crew and / or passengers) including cabin lighting, entertainment systems, passenger services (e.g., reading lights, air vents, attendant call functions), emergency oxygen, and guidance signage (e.g., Fasten seat belts (FASTENSEAT BELTS) and no smoking (NO SMOKING)). Other cabin services designed to enhance the passenger experience include: in-flight entertainment such as music and video (with flip-down or seatback screens) and Internet connectivity. [0003] For example, traditional cabin service systems used in aircraft require very long wires and cables. Not only is this wiring system complex, but it also adds...
