SMART IGNITER COMMUNICATIONS REPEATER

摘要

A smart igniter bus system has a repeater (26) connected by a bus (22) to a controller (20), and one or more smart igniters (24) connected by the bus to the repeater so that the repeater is between the smart igniters and the controller. The repeater (26) receives data transmitted on the bus by the controller and processes the signal sent by the controller with onboard logic. Utilizing the onboard logic, the repeaters are preprogrammed to rebroadcast control signals sent by the controller or to only rebroadcast selected signals, or to generate and transmit new command signals.
