Infrarot-Schnittstelle zur Datenübertragung 5Infrared interface for data transfer 5

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Infrarot-Schnittstelle gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an infrared interface according to the preamble of claim 1.

tine solche Schnittstelle ist aus "302 Schaltungen-, zweite .10 Auflage, ISBN 3-921608-37-6, Elektor Verlag Gmbi. bekannt.Such an interface is known from "302 Circuits", second .10 edition, ISBN 3-921608-37-6, Elektor Verlag Gmbi.

Der Erfindung liegt ^Ie AufgpKe zugrunde, eine Infrarot-Schr.ittstelle anzugeben, osi ";r die jeweilige Datenübertragung auch zwischen mehrerer. Compu &eegr; und mehreren Druckereinrichtungen d·■.: ohgefüh.t »»erden kann.The invention is based on the task of specifying an infrared interface for the respective data transmission also between several computers and several printer devices .

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Schutzanspruch angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the protection claim.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung c-r ,estellten Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben.In the following, the invention is described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing c- r .

In der einzigen Figur sind ein Computer Cl mit einer Sendeeinrichtung SC und eine Druckeinrichtung Dl mit einer Empfangseinrichtung ED dargestellt. Von der Sendeeinrichtung SC gelangen Daten D an die Empfangseinrichtung ED. Die Daten D können hierbei seriell oder parallel auf dem lichtoptischen Weg, vorzugsweise mit Infrarotlicht, übertragen werden. Diese kabellose Verbindung ermöglicht ein beliebiges Aufstellen des Computers Cl und der Duckeinrichtung Dl.The single figure shows a computer Cl with a transmitting device SC and a printing device Dl with a receiving device ED. Data D are sent from the transmitting device SC to the receiving device ED. The data D can be transmitted serially or in parallel using light-optical means, preferably with infrared light. This wireless connection enables the computer Cl and the printing device Dl to be set up in any position.

Zur Datensicherung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Druckeinrichtung Dl über eine Sendeeinrichtung SC ein Quittungssignal Q nach jedem vollständig empfangenen Datenblock an eine Empfangseinrichtung EC des Computers Cl gibt. Die Sendeeinrichtung SC der Druckeinrichtung Dl und die Empfangseinrichtung EC des Computers Cl sind mit unterbrochenen Linien gezeichnet.For data backup, it can be provided that the printing device Dl sends an acknowledgement signal Q after each completely received data block to a receiving device EC of the computer Cl via a transmitting device SC. The transmitting device SC of the printing device Dl and the receiving device EC of the computer Cl are shown with dashed lines.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der Computer Cl einen Codierschalter CC, und die Druckeinrichtung Dl einen Codieischalter CD auf.According to the invention, the computer C1 has a coding switch CC, and the printing device D1 has a coding switch CD.

Diese Codierschalter CC bzw. CD sind beispielsweise durch sogenannte Dip-Schalter oder Drehschalter realisiert. Diese von außer, bedienbaren Codierschalter CC bzw. CD ermöglicnen dem Anwender, &fi Cent jeweiligen Gerät t·-''. mte Adressen einzustellen. Er kann hierdurch beispielsweise seinen Computer Cl und ScJ..ie Druckeinric^ung Dl aufeinander abstimmen, indem er bei J.0 beiden Geräten entsprechende Adressen einstellt. Von der Geräteinnenseite bedienbare Schalter ermöglichen, eine W.rkseinstellung vorzunehmen. Zusätzlich sind Softwareschalter möglich,These coding switches CC and CD are implemented, for example, by so-called dip switches or rotary switches. These coding switches CC and CD, which can be operated from the outside, enable the user to set the appropriate addresses for each device. This enables the user to coordinate his computer Cl and the printer Dl, for example, by setting the appropriate addresses for both devices at J.0. Switches that can be operated from the inside of the device enable a factory setting to be made. In addition, software switches are possible.

Über die Codierschalter CC bzw. CD !rekommt der Anwender die Möglichkeit an der Druckereinrichtung Dl bzw. am Computer Cl eine Adresse einzustellen, die auf die Kardware Einfluß nimmt. Beispielsweise könnte hierdurch ein VCC-Baustein mit unterschiedlichen Spannungen versorgt werden, der davon abhängig eine bestimmte Trägerfrequenz ansteuert. Zusätzlich ist eine Steuerung über den Computer Cl mittels Steuerzeichen denkbar.Using the coding switches CC or CD !re, the user has the option of setting an address on the printer device Dl or on the computer Cl that influences the cardware. For example, a VCC module could be supplied with different voltages, which then controls a specific carrier frequency. Control via the computer Cl using control characters is also conceivable.

Wenn mehrere Geräte, beispielsweise ein weiterer Computer C2 und eine weitere Druckereinrichtung D2 an der Infrarot-Datenübertragung teilnehmen sollen, so kann zur Steuerung des Daten-Verkehrs eine Relaisstation R vorgesehen sein (diese drei letzten Geräte sind in der Figur mit unterbrochenen Linien gezeichnet) .If several devices, for example another computer C2 and another printer device D2, are to participate in the infrared data transmission, a relay station R can be provided to control the data traffic (these last three devices are shown in the figure with dashed lines).
