An intra-vehicle LAN system combining electric power supply includes a main controller
having control signal generation device for generating a control signal used to
control each of on-vehicle electric equipments and outputting the control signal
to an electric power supply line through which electric power is supplied to the
electric equipments and an electric equipment control unit being provided between
the electric power supply line and each of the electric equipments to detect the
control signal transmitted through the electric power supply line and to control
each of the electric equipments. In this system, the generated control signal contains
an ID for specifying each of the electric equipments.
