Purpose of the System

Multiplexing is a technique which uses the same wiring repeatedly for communication between all systems. The systems are all inter-connected, forming a network of communication lines. The information from sensors and switches are converted into digital signals by the system control unit and relayed serially throughout the system network, which is also referred to as a data bus-system.
