摘要:
A multiplex transmission system, in which a node as a transmission node transmits data frame by frame to a transmission path, and a plurality of other nodes, as reception nodes, returns a reception acknowledgment signal to the transmission path upon proper reception of the frame of data. Each of the reception nodes which properly received the frame returns the reception acknowledgment signal specific thereto to that division of a reception acknowledgment signal area in the frame which corresponds to this node. Each node discriminates the success/failure of signal transmission, by comparing the information registered beforehand in its reception acknowledgment signal table with the information in the reception acknowledgment signal area. When the information of the reception acknowledgment signal table does not coincide with that of the reception acknowledgment signal area, the transmission node re-transmits the frame and the reception acknowledgment signal tables of all the nodes are updated. The system can not only effect the addition and deletion of multiplex nodes easily without requiring the change of scale of the circuit of the system, but also discriminate trouble for each of the multiplex nodes.

A multiplex transmission system, in which a plurality of nodes are coupled together through a transmission path, and a node as a transmission node transmits a frame of data including a data area containing transmission data, to other nodes as reception nodes through the transmission path. The frame of data includes a data valid/invalid area having the same bit length as the data area and indicating, bit by bit, the validness/invalidness of the data carried by the corresponding bits in the data area. The system need not be modified depending on the model and grade of vehicles, and can be used widely and applied to various options by the use of a signal allocation system common to different models and grades of vehicles. Those bits in the data area which correspond to the bits in the data valid/invalid area indicative of data invalidness may have values thereof set to a fixed value, so that the reception node judges the transmission node to be defective when a bit of the data valid/invalid area of the received frame and the corresponding bit of the data area of the received frame make a combination of specific values.

A multiplex transmission system includes a plurality of multiplex nodes interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line. Data frames are transmitted among the multiplex nodes through the multiplex transmission line. A data frame transmitted from a sending multiplex node includes a data area which is divided into subdivided areas in accordance with data transmitted therefrom and data transmitted from receiving multiplex nodes which send data in response to a send request, in accordance with the number of data pieces or the number of bits, and the receiving nodes send data to respective subdivided areas in a predetermined order, to thereby carry out a data transmission. Accordingly, the sending multiplex node can simultaneously collect data from the receiving multiplex nodes which are functionally subordinate. When any of the receiving multiplex nodes fails to return an ACK signal, the sending multiplex node retransmits the data frame.

In a multiplex transmission apparatus, multiplex transmission paths to each of which a plurality of communication nodes are connected through a gateway node. When data transfer between the multiplex transmission paths is disabled, data are temporarily saved in a stack according to priority order of data, and when the saved data are transmitted, the data are transmitted on the basis of the priority order and the storage order of the data, thereby preventing omission of transfer data.

An operation apparatus for a vehicle automatic transmission mechanism includes an actuator for driving a hydraulic valve for switching a travel range of an automatic transmission mechanism, a control unit for controlling the actuator, and a transmission operation unit for outputting a range switching instruction to the control unit. In the preferred embodiment, the transmission operation unit includes a stroke contact type operation switch suitably mounted on a side surface of a steering column so that at least forward vehicle travel ranges can be switched by only a stretched finger of the hand of a vehicle driver who continues to maintain his grip on the steering wheel with the same hand. The operation switch can include either a rotary switch or slide switch mounted on the steering column. As an alternative embodiment, the operation switch can be an operation lever swingably arranged on the vehicle instrument panel opposing the steering wheel, but which can be operated so that at least the forward vehicle travel ranges can be switched by only a stretched finger of the vehicle driver's hand while the driver continues to maintain his grip on the wheel with the same hand.

In a multiplex transmission apparatus and a multiplex transmission method when a control unit reads reception data while a status flag is set, it determines that the reception data is obtained before data in a transmission buffer is transmitted. When the control unit reads the reception data while the status flag is reset, it determines that the read data is response data to transmission data. Thus, the control unit precisely recognizes the time series of data on communication control.

A multipath transmission system according to the present invention comprises a plurality of multiplex nodes connected to two multiplex buses. Each of the multiplex nodes is assigned to a specific apparatus, and includes a communication control circuit (LSI) for fetching multiplex signals from the apparatus and transmitting the multiplex signals to the multiplex buses. One multiplex node, out of the plurality of multiplex nodes, includes communication control circuits driver/receiver circuits, and troubleshooting driver/receiver circuits, which are connected to the multiplex buses and used for signal transfer between the buses, and a microprocessor for troubleshooting the multiplex buses and the multiplex nodes. The multiplex node relays a failure signal, corresponding to the result of troubleshooting, to the other network which suffers no trouble.
