Patent attributes
According to the present invention, an additional component circuit body, the structure of which changes in accordance with the type of vehicle or options, and a first base circuit body, the structure of which is fixed, are produced separately, and a whole circuit is configured by combining said circuit bodies. The additional component circuit body has a backbone structure, which is configured such that various branch lines can be attached/detached thereto/therefrom, and a branch line. A main line and the branch line include a power supply line and a communication line. The additional component circuit body has a superordinate control unit and subordinate control unit that control the power supplied to an electrical component that is connected to each branch line. The invention has a switching circuit for switching the connection state of each terminal. Supplied power is controlled by switching the terminals to which power is supplied.
