Described is an integrated electronic control system including keypad with a keypad connector, one or more galley inserts controllable by the keypad; and a control board couplable with the keypad and the galley insert. The control board includes a first connector configured to removably and electrically couple with the keypad connector, a second connector configured to removably and electrically couple with a galley insert connector, and a processor implementing a plurality of control functions related to multiple galley inserts. The processor is configured to receive an input command related to a connected galley insert from the keypad, and generate a control signal, via a control function associated with the galley insert using the input command, to control the galley insert. Further, feedback from the galley insert is received, and based on the feedback, the keypad is configured to indicate a status of the galley insert.
An integrated electronic control system comprising:
A method of operating a galley insert via an integrated electrical panel system comprising a keypad and a control board removably and electrically coupled to the keypad and the galley insert using a first connector and a second connector, wherein the first connector is configured to removably and electrically couple with a keypad connector of the keypad, wherein the first connector comprises a first set of electrical connections configured to electrically couple the keypad via the keypad connector to the control board, wherein the second connector of the control board comprises a second set of electrical connections to electrically couple the galley insert for transmitting control signals from the one or more processors to the galley insert, the control board comprising one or more processors implementing a plurality of control functions associated with multiple galley inserts, the method comprising:
