Abstract
An electrical assembly includes a primary controller, a secondary controller, and a switch assembly. The primary controller, the secondary controller, and/or the switch assembly may be electrically connected, and/or the secondary controller may be configured to control the primary controller according to a position of a switch of the switch assembly. The switch assembly may be connected to the primary controller, and/or the primary controller may be configured to control movement of a vehicle seat according to the position of the switch. The primary controller may include a first state and/or a second state; and the primary controller may be configured to instruct the secondary controller to change the primary controller from the second state to the first state. The first state of the primary controller may be a low power mode.
Claims20
An electrical assembly, including:
- a primary controller;
- a secondary controller;
- and
- a switch assembly;
- wherein the primary controller, the secondary controller and the switch assembly are electrically connected;
- the secondary controller is configured to control the primary controller according to a position of a switch of the switch assembly;
- the switch assembly is connected to the primary controller, and the primary controller is configured to control movement of a vehicle seat according to the position of the switch.
An electrical assembly including:
- a primary controller;
- a secondary controller;
- and
- a switch assembly;
- wherein the primary controller, the secondary controller and the switch assembly are electrically connected;
- the secondary controller is configured to control the primary controller according to a position of a switch of the switch assembly;
- the primary controller has a first state and a second state;
- and
- the primary controller is configured to instruct the secondary controller to change the primary controller from the second state to the first state.
A method of operating an electrical assembly, the method comprising;
- providing a primary controller, a secondary controller, and a first switch;
- receiving, at a digital input of the secondary controller, an analog return signal from the first switch;
- determining a position of the first switch based on the analog return signal;
- and
- selectively providing power to the primary controller via the secondary controller based on the position of the first switch.
