<p>An interface connector system includes a signal bus (18) connected to a control (12, 14) and, via a plurality of interface and connector devices (20), to load components for conveying signals between the control and the load components. Each of the interface and connector devices including address recognition circuitry (36) as well as programmable configuration selection logic (40, 44) to adapt the electrical configuration of the device to respond to a variety of load components. In addition, the signal bus and connector devices are adapted to recognize and convey various levels of signals, for example, different voltage levels representing control information, framing signals, and diagnostic command signals.</p> |
