System for integrating a plurality of modules using a power/data backbone network

摘要

A Virtual Electrical and Electronic Device Interface and Management System (VEEDIMS) support architecture is provided. In one example, the VEEDIMS support architecture includes a vehicle layer and a shop layer. The vehicle layer has a module and a 5 controller positioned in a vehicle. The module is configured to couple to a device via an input/output (1/0) interface compatible with the device and configured to couple to the controller via a cable adapted to simultaneously carry bi-directional data and uni-directional power to the module. The shop layer is separate from the vehicle layer and has a browser configured to communicate with an HTTP server in the module and an analysis tool configured to receive and 0 analyze event driven and time series data from the controller.
