There is a control module and a wireless communication system, operative to selectively transmit information between the local processor and the control module. Selectively transmitting information comprises assigning a communications priority to each input signal, the communications priority comprising one of a non-event, a first-level event, a second-level event, and a third-level event; and, transmitting the input signals to the control module based upon the communications priority.
