Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a network distribution device is provided. Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention is shown. The distribution network device can be applied to a distribution network during communication among a plurality of devices and communication between the plurality of devices and a computer control terminal, and the distribution network device can comprise: the device comprises a setting unit, a determining unit and a control unit.

Specifically, the setting unit may be connected to a controller of each device to be configured, and may be configured to set a DHCP server for each controller, and set two network distribution ports (e.g., a static port and a dynamic port) for each controller, so that each controller has a network distribution condition. Each controller is a controller of the equipment to be networked. Two net gapes of joining in marriage can include: dynamic network ports and static network ports.

Optionally, the setting unit sets a DHCP server for each controller, and may include: a DHCP server is built on each controller.

Alternatively, the setting unit sets one static portal and one dynamic portal for each controller, and may include: two network ports are reserved on each controller, so that each controller sets a first network port of the two reserved network ports as a static network port and sets a second network port of the two reserved network ports as a dynamic network port. The static network port may include: static IP network ports. A dynamic portal, which may include: and (4) dynamic IP network ports.

For example: when a network is distributed, a DHCP server is firstly set up on each controller. And two network ports are reserved on each controller, one network port is set as a static IP by the controller, and the other network port is set as a dynamic IP.

Therefore, each controller can have the distribution network condition by setting a DHCP server, a static IP network port and a dynamic IP network port for each controller, thereby realizing the rapid network establishment for the controllers with the distribution network condition.

Specifically, the determining unit may be connected to the controller of each device to be configured, and connected to the network establishing unit, and may be configured to determine the network distribution mode. This distribution network mode can include: any one of a router distribution network mode, a hybrid distribution network mode and a network port distribution network mode.

Optionally, the determining unit determines the distribution network mode, which may include: and determining the number of the routers, and determining a distribution network mode according to the number of the routers. Wherein:

the determining unit may be specifically configured to determine that the distribution network mode is a router distribution network mode for realizing a distribution network by using routers when there are routers and the number of routers reaches the required number.

The determining unit may be further configured to determine, when there are routers and the number of the routers does not reach the required number, that the distribution network mode is a hybrid distribution network mode in which a distribution network is implemented by using distribution network ports of the routers and the controller.

The determining unit may be further configured to determine, in the absence of a router, that the network distribution mode is a network port distribution mode in which a network is distributed by using a distribution network port of the controller itself.

Therefore, the distribution network mode is determined according to the number of the routers, an internal Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server can be adopted, and a dynamic network port and a static network port are combined to realize the debugging method of the automatic distribution network and the manual distribution network, and the rapid distribution network method for reducing the access of the routers or not is realized through the double network ports, so that the network connection can be rapidly established under the condition of the existence of the routers.

Specifically, the control unit may be configured to implement a network distribution for each controller by using the router according to a network distribution manner of the router; namely, under the condition that the determined distribution network mode is the router distribution network mode, the router is used for realizing distribution network for each controller.

Optionally, the controlling unit implements a distribution network for each controller by using the router, and may include:

the control unit may be further configured to divide the N controllers into at least two groups, where each group of controllers includes two or more controllers.

The control unit may be further configured to control a dynamic gateway of each controller in each group of controllers to be connected to one router.

The control unit may be further configured to control each router to be connected to a control terminal (e.g., a computer terminal).

Each router distributes an IP address of a set network segment to each controller connected to the router so as to enable the N controllers to communicate under the same local area network.

For example: when a user selects a router to distribute a network for the equipment, a plurality of controllers can be connected according to the mode shown in fig. 2, and the router can automatically distribute an IP address of the same network segment for each equipment, so that communication among all the equipment in the same local area network can be realized.

Further optionally, the control unit may implement a distribution network for each controller by using the router, and may further include: and if the newly added controller exists, adding the newly added controller into any one of the at least two groups of controllers so as to control the newly added controller to be connected to the router connected with the group of controllers.

Therefore, the controllers are connected to different routers after being grouped, and then the different routers are connected, so that a network can be quickly established, and communication among all devices in the same local area network is realized.

Or, the control unit can also be used for realizing the distribution of the network for each controller by utilizing the distribution network ports of the router and the controller according to the hybrid distribution network mode; namely, under the condition that the determined distribution network mode is the hybrid distribution network mode, the distribution network is realized for each controller by using the distribution network ports of the router and the controller.

Optionally, the controlling unit may implement a distribution network for each controller by using the distribution network ports of the router and the controller, and the distribution network may include:

the control unit may be further configured to divide the N controllers into two groups, where each group of controllers includes two or more controllers.

The control unit can be specifically used for controlling the dynamic network port of each controller in the first group of controllers to be connected to one router; and controlling the static network port of one controller in the first group of controllers to be connected to the dynamic network port of one controller in the second group of controllers, controlling the static network port of one controller in the second group of controllers connected to the first group of controllers to be connected to the dynamic network port of the other controller in the second group of controllers, and the like so that each controller in the second group of controllers is connected in sequence.

The control unit may be further configured to control a static portal of an end controller in the second group of controllers to be connected to a control terminal (e.g., a computer terminal).

And one controller in the first group of controllers connected to the second group of controllers allocates an IP address and a subnet mask to one controller in the second group of controllers connected to the first group of controllers, so that the one controller in the first group of controllers and the one controller in the second group of controllers are in the same set network segment.

For example: when the resources of the user router are insufficient, a plurality of controllers are required to be configured in the local area network and can be connected in a manner shown in fig. 3, a static IP port of a former controller is connected with a dynamic IP port of a latter controller to form a direct connection system, and the static IP port of a tail-end controller of the system is connected to a client computer, so that the automatic and manual distribution network debugging system in the scheme of the invention is formed. In the example shown in fig. 3, since each controller is integrated with a DHCP server, when the static IP port (i.e., static IP port) of the third controller 3 is connected to the dynamic IP port (i.e., dynamic IP port) of the fourth controller 4 by a network cable, the third controller 3 allocates an IP address and a subnet mask to the dynamic IP port of the fourth controller 4, and the third controller 3 and the fourth controller 4 are in the same network segment, so that the third controller 3 and the fourth controller 4 communicate under the lan, similarly, the fourth controller 4 and the fifth controller 5 can also communicate, and so on, the fifth controller 5 can communicate with the computer, and the computer client can see the IP addresses of all the controllers, so that the computer and all the controller devices and the devices communicate with each other.

Therefore, network communication between devices can be quickly established by adopting a mode that the router is used for distributing a network and combining a dynamic network port with a static network port to be directly connected under the condition of router shortage; in addition, the access of the router is reduced, so that the networking cost can be reduced, and the risk of data loss caused by communication failure between the devices due to the routing failure is reduced.

Or the control unit can be used for realizing the distribution of the network for each controller by utilizing the distribution network port of the controller according to the network port distribution mode; namely, under the condition that the determined distribution network mode is the network port distribution network mode, the distribution network is realized for each controller by utilizing the distribution network port of the controller.

For example: by using the double network ports and the DHCP communication technology, the equipment can be normally connected with the network when the router exists or not. The debugging mode of an automatic network distribution and a manual network distribution is realized through the double network cards, and the debugging difficulty can be reduced by enabling the controller to establish network connection in two states of active addressing and passive waiting, so that the requirement of quickly establishing a network is met.

Further optionally, the control unit may implement a distribution network for each controller by using the distribution network ports of the router and the controller, and may further include: if the new controller exists, after the connection between the static network port of the end controller in the second group of controllers and the control terminal is disconnected, the static network port of the end controller in the second group of controllers is controlled to be connected to the dynamic network port of the new controller, and then the static network port of the new controller is controlled to be connected to the control terminal (such as a computer terminal).

Therefore, the DHCP server and the two distribution network ports are arranged on each controller, the debugging modes of automatic distribution network and manual distribution network are realized through the double network cards, and the network can be quickly established.

Optionally, the controlling unit may implement a distribution network for each controller by using a distribution network port of the controller itself, where the distribution network port includes:

the control unit may be further configured to control a static network port of one controller of the N controllers to be connected to a dynamic network port of another controller, control a static network port of the another controller to be connected to a dynamic network port of a next controller, and so on to connect each controller of the N controllers in sequence.

The control unit may be further configured to control a static portal of a terminal controller of the N controllers to be connected to a control terminal (e.g., a computer terminal).

For example: under the condition of no router, the communication among a plurality of controllers and the communication among the controllers and the computer terminal can be realized. If the controller devices can be connected in the manner shown in fig. 4, any router can be not connected to the system, and communication between all the devices and the computer terminal can be realized.

Therefore, network communication between the devices can be quickly established by adopting a mode of directly connecting the dynamic network port and the static network port under the condition of not using a router; in addition, the access of the router is reduced, so that the networking cost can be reduced, and the risk of data loss caused by communication failure between the devices due to the routing failure is reduced.

Further optionally, the control unit may implement a distribution network for each controller by using a distribution network port of the controller itself, and may further include: if the new controller exists, after the connection between the static network port of the end controller in the N controllers and the control terminal is disconnected, the static network port of the end controller in the N controllers is controlled to be connected to the dynamic network port of the new controller, and then the static network port of the new controller is controlled to be connected to the control terminal (such as a computer terminal).

For example: if a control device needs to be added to the local area network, only the static IP end (i.e., the static IP port) of the fifth controller 5 needs to be connected to the dynamic IP end (i.e., the dynamic IP port) of the controller to be accessed, and then the static IP end of the controller to be accessed is connected to the computer.

Therefore, after the N controllers are distributed, if the newly-added controller is arranged, the newly-added controller is controlled to be added into the network where the N controllers are located, the controllers are conveniently expanded in the network, and the distribution network convenience when equipment is newly added at any time in the control system of the Internet of things can be improved.

Through a large number of tests, the technical scheme of the invention is adopted, the normal network connection of the equipment corresponding to each controller is realized by using the double network ports and the DHCP communication technology through arranging the DHCP server in each controller and arranging the static network port and the dynamic network port on each controller, the debugging difficulty can be reduced, and the network can be quickly established.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the invention further provides an Internet of things control system corresponding to the distribution network device. This thing networking control system can include: the network distribution device is described above.

In some aspects, a router may be employed to wire the controller to the controller. For example, when all wired controllers in a company need to communicate, a convenient and fast network configuration system is needed. The scheme of the invention provides a debugging configuration method and a debugging configuration system for an automatic network distribution and a manual network distribution of a controller, which mainly realize the debugging mode of the automatic network distribution and the manual network distribution through double network cards, and can reduce the debugging difficulty by establishing network connection by adopting two states of active addressing and passive waiting so as to meet the requirement of quickly establishing a network.

The active addressing may be to access a static port of the controller integrated with the DHCP server to a dynamic port of the second controller, and the second controller can automatically obtain an IP in the same network segment. The passive waiting may refer to that the router set to automatically allocate the IP for which the controller waits for access allocates the IP.

Optionally, in the scheme of the present invention, a debugging method for an automatic distribution network and a manual distribution network is implemented in a manner of combining a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and a dynamic network port with a static network port. By adopting the mode of combining the internal DHCP server and the dynamic network port with the static network port, the method for rapidly distributing the network by reducing the router access or not accessing the router through the double network ports is realized, and the network connection can be rapidly established under the condition of the existence of the router of the equipment.

Optionally, in the solution of the present invention, a manner of directly connecting a dynamic network port and a static network port is adopted, so that network communication between devices is quickly established in the case of router shortage or no router is used. The access of the router is reduced by adopting a mode of directly connecting a dynamic network port and a static network port, and the networking cost is reduced; the communication fault between the devices caused by the route fault and the risk of data loss are reduced.

In an alternative embodiment, a specific implementation process of the scheme of the present invention can be exemplarily described with reference to the examples shown in fig. 2 to 4.

The scheme of the invention utilizes the double network ports and the DHCP communication technology to realize that the equipment can be normally connected with the network when the router exists or not.

In an alternative embodiment, the process of debugging and configuring the distribution network automatically and manually by the controller may include:

step 1, firstly, a DHCP server is built on each controller.

For example: because a system such as window or Linux is generally embedded in a controller with a network port, for a controller provided with the system, a DHCP service is equivalent to a component of the system, and the DHCP service can be completed under a slight configuration similar to the installation of software.

And 2, reserving two network ports on each controller, setting one network port as a static IP by the controller, and setting the other network port as a dynamic IP.

For example: the operation of setting static IP and dynamic IP can be similar to the operation of selecting self-acquiring IP address or fixed IP for a computer of the user, the operation can be realized by instructions for a controller carrying the system, and the setting of the dynamic and static IP is realized for realizing the distribution of a plurality of modes through double network ports.

And 3, when the user selects the router to distribute the network for the equipment, connecting the controllers according to the mode shown in the figure 2, and automatically allocating an IP address of the same network segment to each equipment by the router, so that the communication among all the equipment in the same local area network can be realized.

For example: the router has a basic function of automatically allocating an IP address to the access equipment, and belongs to a route, the general flow is that the router can open a DHCP service, and the service can automatically allocate the IP address and a subnet mask to the equipment which is set to automatically acquire the IP according to a DHCP protocol after the DHCP service is opened.

In fig. 2, each of the first controller 1, the second controller 2, the third controller 3, the fourth controller 4, and the fifth controller 5 has one dynamic IP portal and one static IP portal. And a first controller 1, a second controller 2 and a third controller 3 respectively connected to the first router. And a fourth controller 4 and a fifth controller 5 respectively connected to the second router. The first router and the second router are respectively connected to a computer.

Optionally, when the user router resources are not enough, a plurality of controllers need to be configured into the local area network, and may be connected together in the manner shown in fig. 3, and a static IP port of a previous controller is connected to a dynamic IP port of a subsequent controller to form a direct connection system, and a static IP port of a terminal controller of the system is connected to a client computer, so that the automatic and manual distribution network debugging system in the scheme of the present invention is formed.

In fig. 3, each of the first controller 1, the second controller 2, the third controller 3, the fourth controller 4, and the fifth controller 5 has one dynamic IP portal and one static IP portal. The first controller 1 and the second controller 2 are respectively connected to the first router. The static IP port of the second controller 2 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the third controller 3, the static IP port of the third controller 3 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the fourth controller 4, the static IP port of the fourth controller 4 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the fifth controller 5, and the static IP port of the fifth controller 5 is connected to the computer.

Further, in the example shown in fig. 3, because each controller has a DHCP server integrated thereon, when the static IP port (i.e. static IP port) of the third controller 3 and the dynamic IP port (i.e. dynamic IP port) of the fourth controller 4 are connected by a network cable, the third controller 3 will assign an IP address and subnet mask to the dynamic IP port of the fourth controller 4, and the third controller 3 and the fourth controller 4 are in the same network segment, thus realizing the communication between the third controller 3 and the fourth controller 4 under the LAN, similarly, the fourth controller 4 and the fifth controller 5 can also realize the communication, and so on, the fifth controller 5 can communicate with the computer, and the computer client can see the IP addresses of all the controllers, so that the communication between the computer and all the controller equipment and between the equipment is realized.

Since the DHCP server is mounted, the router is similar to a built-in router, and the router has functions of automatically allocating an IP subnet mask to the access device, and the like, the third controller 3 allocates an IP address and a subnet mask to the dynamic IP port of the fourth controller 4, and the third controller 3 and the fourth controller 4 are in the same network segment.

The computer client can see the IP addresses of all the controllers, can check the IP addresses, and can enable the terminal to know the IP of each access controller and communicate with any one of the required controllers.

Further alternatively, if a control device needs to be added to the local area network, only the static IP end (i.e., the static IP port) of the fifth controller 5 needs to be connected to the dynamic IP end (i.e., the dynamic IP port) of the controller to be accessed, and then the static IP end of the controller to be accessed is connected to the computer.

For example: any plurality of controllers can be added, one controller can be damaged or needs to be replaced, like any controller can be removed in the connection mode, only the static IP port of the former controller from which the controller is removed needs to be connected to the dynamic IP port of the latter controller from which the controller is removed, so that the invention has the advantage that any plurality of controllers can be added, and any controller which does not need to be accessed can be removed.

In an alternative embodiment, the communication between the controllers and the computer terminal can be realized without a router. If the controller devices can be connected in the manner shown in fig. 4, any router can be not connected to the system, and communication between all the devices and the computer terminal can be realized.

For example: the method for realizing communication between all devices and between computer terminals without connecting any router to the system may specifically include: the system is characterized in that a static network port of a first controller is connected to a dynamic network port of a next controller in sequence and connected downwards, and the first controller can allocate an IP and a subnet mask which are in the same network segment with the static network port of the first controller to a second controller due to the integration of a DHCP server, so that all the controllers are in the same network segment and can realize communication.

In fig. 4, each of the first controller 1, the second controller 2, the third controller 3, the fourth controller 4, and the fifth controller 5 has one dynamic IP portal and one static IP portal. The static IP port of the first controller 1 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the second controller 2, the static IP port of the second controller 2 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the third controller 3, the static IP port of the third controller 3 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the fourth controller 4, the static IP port of the fourth controller 4 is connected to the dynamic IP port of the fifth controller 5, and the static IP port of the fifth controller 5 is connected to the computer.

It can be seen that, in order to meet the requirement of establishing a network quickly, the scheme of the present invention adopts a mode of automatically allocating an IP by using a route other than the adopted mode, mainly adopts a DHCP server integrated in a controller, and realizes networking between devices without a route by using a mode of connecting a dual-network port, such as a static IP port, with a dynamic IP port, so that a network can be established quickly, the requirement of establishing a network by a user under different use conditions can be realized, and the use convenience is better.
