Abstract

The M3S (Multiple Master Multiple Slave) is an intelligent transmission system for the disabled. This integrated system combines technical aids for mobility, manipulation, environment control and communication. However, signals must be transmitted by a RF (Radio Frequency) module to overcome critical limitations of the CAN Bus (e.g. length). Appliances in different rooms are attached to different "remote" M3S Busses, while the user's "local" M3S Bus controls these remote links by manipulating all output devices on the remote end with input devices on the local end. Signals may also be transferred singly through remote M3S Busses, allowing the neighborhood remote Busses to interface between origin and destination.
