    摘要: An electrical system may include a mounting surface, a component configured for connection with the mounting surface and configured to move relative to the mounting surface, and/or an orientation sensor configured to determining an orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface. The orientation sensor may include a first sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected, at least indirectly, to the mounting surface, and a second sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected to move with the component. The orientation sensor may include an electronic controller. The electronic controller may be configured to compare first information from the first sensor to second information from the second sensor to determine the orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface.

    摘要: An electrical assembly includes a track assembly, a support member configured to move along the track assembly, a first ECU connected to the support member, and a second electronic control unit (ECU) connected to the track assembly and configured to provide power from a power source to the track assembly. The first ECU may be configured to disconnect the electrical load and/or cause the electrical load to operate in a low-current mode if a connection system is partially engaged. The second ECU may have a first mode in which the second ECU provides power in a first voltage range to the track assembly. The second ECU may have a second mode in which the second ECU provides power in a second voltage range. The second ECU may be configured to switch between the first mode and the second mode according to information from the first ECU.
