The E-Plex® System		The integration of all electronic systems into a common shell with the ability to distribute the information simultaneously to strategically located control / monitoring stations is becoming the standard rather than the exception.

What is E-Plex®?

E-Plex® is the next-generation multiplexing technology for complex vehicles and equipment. The E-Plex® product line is comprised of intuitive user interfaces, power distribution modules, machine interface modules, sensors and software. These components electronically connect engines, generators, lighting, HVAC, audio/video and other equipment. The result is a seamless monitoring and control solution with dramatically increased system functionality.

Powered by a patented multiplexing technology that allows power and data to be transported over a simple, two-wire bus,
E-Plex® offers scalable, ﬂexible solutions at competitive costs.

With distinct advantages in hardware, software and user interfaces,E-Plex® enables simple and cost-effective system integration. E-Plex® offers a Total System Solution that can be brought to market very quickly offering unmatched value in the multiplexing marketplace.

Flexibility – E-Plex® has an open architecture that easily integrates with all forms of equipment and other electronic protocols. With the E-Plex® building blocks, designers have the ﬂexibility to create a system with features, functionality and even graphics that are truly unique. E-Plex® provides a blank slate that customers can use to create differentiated products consistent with their larger product line or brand strategies.

Scalability – E-Plex® can perform as a simple, stand-alone tank monitoring system or as a fully integrated control system for a megayacht. E-Plex® hardware and software has been speciﬁcally designed to allow scalability and growth. Many customers deploy E-Plex® initially in an extremely simple conﬁguration and then expand it over time either in the ﬁeld or during model year changes. With E-Plex® you can literally “grow as you go”.

Simplicity of Design & Installation – Via E-Logic, a new system can be designed, documented and brought to market very quickly. With just two wires, E-Plex® provides all the beneﬁts associated with multiplexing with less cost, complexity and weight.

Diagnostics, Error Detection & Troubleshooting – The E-Plex® architecture is robust and does not require costly shielding or termination resistors. The E-Plex® “Clock” module includes error detection protocols, troubleshooting features and redundant programming allowing for “plug & play” ﬁeld replacement or upgrades.

What systems can E-plex® integrate with?

In a typical application, E Plex® can control & monitor systems including:

Tank levels	Engines	Hydraulics	Security and multimedia
Gensets	Heating & air conditioning	GPS	User-defined lighting
