The Class A Task Force of the Vehicle Network for Multiplex and Data Communications Committee is publishing this SAE Information Report to provide insight into Class A Multiplexing. Multiplexed actuators are generally defined as devices which accept information from the multiplexed bus. A multiplexed actuator can be an output device controlled by the operator or an intelligent controller. A Multiplex actuator can also be a display device that reports the status of a monitored vehicle function. This document is intended to help the network system engineers and is meant to stimulate the design thought process. A list of multiplexed actuator examples is provided in Appendix A, Figure A1. Many other examples can be it identified.

The Class A Task Force of the Vehicle Network for Multiplexing and Data Communications Subcommittee is providing information on sensors that could be applicable for a Class A Bus application. Sensors are generally defined as any device that inputs information onto the bus. Sensors can be an input controlled by the operator or an input that provides the feedback or status of a monitored vehicle function. Although there is a list of sensors provided, this list is not all-inclusive. This SAE Information Report is intended to help the network system engineer and is meant to stimulate the design thought process.
