Abstract
A pulsed electrical remote control interface for an equipment item including a plurality of functions to be controlled includes at least a first command input associated with a first command line (TC-Type, TC-Type-plus, TC-Type-minus) for selecting at least one function (RF ON, RF OFF, ALC ON, ALC OFF, FCA UP, FCA DOWN, GCA UP, GCA DOWN, SCA UP, SCA DOWN, INHIBIT) to be performed from the plurality of functions and at least one second command input associated with a second command line (EXE, EXE-UP-ON, EXE-DOWN-OFF) for executing the selected function, each command input being associated with an outbound pulsed command line and a return line, the return line possibly being shared with a number of outbound lines. Applicable to the control of any kind of equipment that includes a large number of functions and requires a large number of pulsed command signals, notably in the field of satellite communication systems.
