PowerPlex® for mobile homes and caravans
With a single touch, the users can switch off lights and switch on the air condition. Or they control everything at the same time which is part of a pre-defined scenario. Users can view all vehicle information on screens, such as water tank levels or battery condition. Or they rely on PowerPlex to inform them immediately as soon as any action needs to be taken.
PowerPlex allows control and monitoring of the on-board electrical system via smartphones, tablets, touch displays or key pads. Thanks to the various operating options, controlling the entire on-board equipment is child’s play.
For applications in leisure vehicles, E-T-A co-operates with major manufacturers of electronic equipment. This tops off the entire solution and continuously enhances the functionalities of PowerPlex.

PowerPlex – CI bus network (LIN)
PowerPlex® – CI bus network (LIN)
The CI bus (caravan industry bus) is the standard for serial data networking of electronic devices under the umbrella of the German industrial trade association CIVD (Caravaning Industrie Verband e.V.). The idea is an artless and convenient operation of the mobile home, where a central operation module controls heating, air conditioning and other devices.
E-T-A’s PowerPlex offers full connectivity to the CI bus. Some PowerPlex Modules also offer the required interface to connect the PowerPlex CAN bus directly with a LIN bus system such as the CI bus. -
