Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A replacement smart relay having a relay, controlled by a microcontroller operably connected through a power line communication line that receives instructions from a relay controller, the relay has a simulated resistor representative of a reference resistance, the instructions pass through commands that are sent to the relay control terminals to the relay switched terminals to allow the relay to function the same as the relay it is replacing in the existing application, the instructions from the relay controller are capable of opening or closing the relay switched terminals to override a command on the relay control terminals from the existing application based on a set of vehicle conditions communicated to the relay controller, and instructions from the relay controller allow the smart relay to act deterministically when the smart relay is not actively communicating with the relay controller. A feedback circuit may be used to enhance functionality.
