Multiplexing allows sharing of information between systems like controls, sensors, and displays using a network of circuits rather than dedicated wiring. It assigns an identifier to each network element so signals can include an ID preceding commands. This facilitates managing priorities, errors, and diagnostics. While reducing wiring, multiplexing enables extensive communication and data storage to aid performance and maintenance. However, working on such circuits requires qualified personnel with specialized training and equipment due to the digital nature of the technology.

What do we call “network circuits", or


"multiplexing", and how do they work?

Origin and principle :


Mutiplexing was developed to respond to ever higher
