Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  H  G | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
an arm control path configured to trigger an arm signal;
a deploy control path configured to trigger a deploy signal; and
a communication module configured to (a) communicate a remote signal to/from an end device over a bus, (b) generate a bypass signal in response to said remote signal and (c) generate said remote signal in response to detecting said arm signal; wherein
(a) said apparatus is configured to generate an activation signal for an actuator in response to said arm signal and said deploy signal,
(b) said arm signal and said deploy signal are generated independently;
(c) said communication module enables said remote signal in order to activate said end device when said arm signal is detected; and
(d) said bypass signal is configured to (i) be compatible with said arm control path, (ii) enable said communication module to cause said arm control path to generate said arm signal and (iii) ensure an independent and parallel path for said arm control path to generate said arm signal.
