摘要:
In a multiplex transmission system for vehicles, the right to access a bus is divided into a plurality of main time slots, and the individual time slots are subdivided into two subordinate time slots. In each individual main time slot, a communication node having comparatively heavy traffic is assigned to a first of the two subordinate time slots, and a communication node having comparatively light traffic is assigned to a second of the two subordinate time slots.
摘要:
A system for reporting the occurrence of a failure in a multiplex communication network system in which a plurality of communication nodes are connected to one another and information is exchanged by transceiving frames. In the system, if a failure takes place in any of the communication nodes, the frame which reports the failure occurrence is transmitted to the network while being given the top priority.

摘要:
A transmission failure diagnosis apparatus for use in a multiplex transmission system which sends and receives data by time division communication among a plurality of nodes connected by a common transmission path. This transmission failure diagnosis apparatus comprises a reception circuit, connected in the transmission path, for receiving a transmission signal on the transmission path, an amplitude detection circuit for detecting the signal amplitude of a transmission signal received by this reception circuit, and a judgment circuit for judging failures in the system on the basis of the amplitude of the transmission signal detected by the amplitude detection circuit.
摘要:
A multipath transmission system for an automobile according to the present invention comprises a plurality of multiplex transmission units connected in parallel with each other to one common bus. Each transmission unit is assigned to one of groups in which various devices attached to the automobile are classified. The transmission unit includes a sending circuit for transmitting the multiple signals from the devices in the group concerned to the other units through the bus. The system further comprises a power source for always applying electric power to the sending circuit of at least one of the multiplex transmission units. Only that multiplex transmission unit to which the electric power is always applied is provided with a bias circuit which sets the potential of the multiple signals on the bus when the multiple signals are supplied from the sending circuits of any multiplex transmission unit to the bus.
摘要:
A multiple transmission system for use in a vehicle, in which a second node having a control function sends an command to first nodes of an ordinary type when an transmission error higher than a certain level takes place or at certain time intervals to effect system refreshment which resides in the following operation. Each of the first nodes, which has received the command, sends its status information (e.g., the status of an input device element such as a sensor or switch) to the other nodes. The other nodes which receive this information initialize their status (e.g., the status of an output device element such as an actuator or a motor) according to the received status information.
摘要:
The number of control nodes, of a plurality of control nodes distributed/connected to a common multiplex transmission path, which can exchange data with each other, is counted and data communication between the plurality of control nodes is performed while each control node prolongs the data transmission period as the number of control nodes, i.e., the number of control nodes which can exchange data with each other, increases.
摘要:
A device for controlling the current consumption of a power supply which applies a voltage to a transmission control circuit for transmitting a transmission signal with respect to a transmission line is provided. A power supply stabilizing circuit for stabilizing a voltage applied from the power supply; an amplitude detection circuit for detecting a transmission signal input from the transmission line; a switching circuit for interrupting application of a voltage from the power supply stabilizing circuit to the transmission control circuit; and a control circuit for controlling the open/closed state of the switching circuit according to the presence or absence of a transmission signal detected by the amplitude detection circuit are provided, and only when the amplitude detection circuit has detected the transmission signal, the control circuit sets the switching circuit into the closed state so as to permit a voltage to be applied to the transmission control circuit. When no transmission signal is transmitted, application of an unnecessary voltage to the transmission control circuit is interrupted, thereby reducing the current consumption.
