V-MUX® Electrical System

THE V-MUX SYSTEM
V-MUX is a complete electrical control system. The power distribution units (nodes) reduce wire harness bundles and electrical control hardware. Our software introduces advanced control features not available in conventional wiring systems. V-MUX works in many applications providing you with a generous amount of flexibility and control over your electrical system. The combination of hardware and software make up the V-MUX system.

WHAT IF I WANT TO MAKE UPGRADES OR CHANGES?
The System Designer™ software allows the OEM to configure the vehicle, any changes are made at the OEM level. The OEM can email or remote download the update to the vehicle.


WHY MULTIPLEX?

  • 1948 average car wiring: 10 lbs, 150 ft, 35 connectors, 75 terminals, 55 wires.
  • 1994 average car wiring: 165 lbs, 5280 ft, 300 connectors, 2000 terminals, 1500 wires.
  • 1998 Automobile manufacturer reduced connectors 25%, splices 92%, size 15%, weight 65% via multiplexing.
  • 1999 V-MUX system reduced connectors 25%, splices 75%, relay interlock junctions 80 to 90%, "one input cuts out 5 park brake relay points".


V-MUX VS. OTHERS
Master Slave (Other Systems)

  • Master holds all the configurations for slaves
  • Master tells slaves what outputs to turn on
  • Master goes down - other nodes can no longer communicate
