  • FIG. 5 A schematic illustration of a preferred embodiment of DCU, circuitry appears in Fig. 5. The schematic illustration is believed to be self explanatory, accordingly, no additional description thereof is believed to be necessary. Identical circuitry is employed also for the ECU and SCU circuitry. A listing of software resident in the microcontroller of Fig. 5 appears in Appendix A, for DCU, ECU and SCU functionalities.
  • the system manager is operative following initialization to confirm that no door is open and that no door has been authorized to be opened.
  • the system manager is then prepared to deal with any one of three events: a timer event, a user input, receipt of a message from the SCU 32 (Fig. 1). Following occurrence of an event, the system manager returns to an idle state.
  • Fig. 6B The operation of the system manager upon occurrence of a timer event is illustrated in Fig. 6B. If an excessive time has passed since the last message, a report to that effect is logged and an alarm is sounded. Otherwise, a request is transmitted to the SCU 32 to perform a block poll, as will be described hereinbelow.
  • Figs. 6F, 6D, 6E and 6G The subroutines dedicated to the above messages NBIO, LBIO, RBIO and ENDP are illustrated in respective Figs. 6F, 6D, 6E and 6G.
  • Each of the subroutines shown in Figs. 6F, 6D and 6E employ a subroutine which is explained hereinbelow with reference to Fig. 6I.
  • the subject matter of Figs. 6F, 6D, 6E and 6G is not believed to require further explanation.
  • Fig. 6H The operation of the system manager upon receipt of an input from a user is illustrated in Fig. 6H.
  • a user indicates a single door which he is authorized to open and normally provides the requisite identification to a security operative.
  • the system manager notes in a register that the indicated door is authorized to be opened.
  • the system manager notes in a register that the indicated door is no longer authorized to open.
  • the system as described herein is configured to only permit one authorized box opening at any given time. Alternatively, the system could be configured to permit more than one authorized box opening at a given time.
  • Fig. 6I The operation of the system manager upon reception of a message from a SCU, indicating the open status of a door is illustrated in Fig. 6I.
  • the system checks to determine whether the door which is indicated to be open is authorized to be open. If not, an alarm is sounded. In any event, the open status of the door is logged by column and row numbers.
  • Figs. 7A and 7B illustrate the operation of SCU circuitry 32.
  • the SCU circuitry awaits a poll command from the system manager 34. Upon receipt of the poll command it conducts polling the status of block 20 (Fig. 1).
  • the task of the SCU is to transmit a poll instruction message to a first ECU in response to a poll system instruction from the system manager 34 (Fig. 1) and to then receive the various return messages therefrom. These messages are then retransmitted by the SCU to the system manager 34.
  • the polling of block 20 is achieved by transmitting a poll message to a first ECU and then awaiting a message from the ECU. If the message is properly received, it is echoed to the system manager 34. If the message is not properly received, the SCU exits the subroutine of Fig. 7B. The subroutine is operative until an ENDP message is received and echoed to the system manager 34.
  • FIG. 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E and 8F illustrating the operation of the system manager of Figs. 1-5.
  • the ECU waits for a wake-up signal and upon receipt thereof handles a start-bit from a LINK HX.
  • the ECU circuitry upon receipt of the message along LINK HX, and if the message is successfully received, the ECU circuitry deals with the following types of messages received from LINK HX:
  • the ECU upon receipt of an NBIO, RBIO or LBIO message, the ECU retransmits the same message with the received column and row indices (COL, ROW) changed to (COL+1,ROW) to LINK 1 - HX, i.e. the opposite link on the same transceiver.
  • the ECU upon receipt of an ENDP message from LINK HX, the ECU performs a DCU column poll and transmits an ENDP message with the received (COL, ROW) indication changed to (COL+1,ROW) to link 1 - HX, i.e. the opposite link.
  • the ECU upon receipt of a POLL message from LINK HX, the ECU also transmits a poll message to LINK 1 - HX. If the transmission is not successful it performs a DCU column poll and transmits the result to link 1 - HX. It also transmits a ENDP message with a column indication 0 to link 1 - HX.
  • the ECU transmits a POLL message to the most adjacent DCU (transceiver). If the transmission is not successful, the ECU transmits an NBIO message with indices (0,0) to LINK HX for ultimate transmittal to the SCU 32 and the system manager 34.
  • the ECU awaits a message from the adjacent DCU. If such a message is not received successfully, the ECU exits the subroutine. If a message is successfully received from the adjacent DCU, it is dealt with depending on the type of message, i.e. LBIO, RBIO or NBIO.
  • the ECU transmits a message of the same type to a link HX for ultimate transmittal to the SCU 32 and the system manager 34.
  • the index of the message is a column index 0 and a row index equal to the received index incremented by +1.
  • the ECU In the event of receipt of RBIO and LBIO messages, the ECU remains in the subroutine awaiting further messages. If an NBIO message is received, the ECU exits the subroutine.
  • Figs. 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, 9E, 9F, 9G, 9H, 9I and 9J are flow charts illustrating the operation of the DCU circuitry of Figs. 1 - 5.
  • the DCU upon supply of power to the DCU circuitry and initialization thereof, the DCU remains in a dormant state until it is awakened up by a received signal.
  • the received signal may come from a source which is vertically separated from the DCU or a source which is horizontally separated from the DCU. Once the received signal has been dealt with, the DCU returns to its dormant state.
  • the DCU retransmits the communication back to the source. If, however, as seen in Fig. 9C, the signal is received from a source that is vertically separated from the DCU, the DCU checks if the message has been correctly received. If so, each message is handled separately and when it has been handled, the DCU returns to its dormant state.
  • Fig. 9D illustrates handling of a POLL message from a LINK VX and indicates that the received POLL message is retransmitted to an opposite link, LINK 1 - VX. If the transmission is not successful, the DCU transmits the status of its right and left neighbors back to link VX and also transmits an NBIO message with index 0 to link VX.
  • Fig. 9E Transmission of the status of the right and left neighbors is illustrated in Fig. 9E. An inquiry is made as to whether the right neighbor door is open. If so, an RBIO message is transmitted to link VX with index 0. An inquiry is made if the left neighbor door is open. If so, an LBIO message is transmitted to link VX with index 0.
  • Reading status of a neighbor is illustrated in Fig. 9F and includes the steps of communicating with a neighboring DCU. If the communication is successful, an indication is provided that the neighboring door is closed. If the communication is not successful, an indication is provided that the neighboring door is open.
  • Handling of an NBIO message is illustrated in Fig. 9G and includes transmitting the status of the right and left neighbors as described hereinabove and afterwards transmitting an NBIO message with an ROW index incremented by +1 to the opposite link 1 - VX.
  • Handling of an RBIO message is illustrated in Fig. 9H and includes transmitting an RBIO message with a ROW index incremented by +1 to the opposite link 1 - VX.
  • Handling of an LBIO message is illustrated in Fig. 9I and includes transmitting an LBIO message with an ROW index incremented by +1 to the opposite link 1 - VX.
