Description

この発明は、複数の送受信回路の相互間で送受信を行なう信号伝送回路において、回路故障が発生した場合においても他の回路に影響を及ぼさないようにした信号伝送回路に関する。   The present invention relates to a signal transmission circuit that performs transmission / reception among a plurality of transmission / reception circuits so that other circuits are not affected even when a circuit failure occurs.

図5に特許文献1,2に記載の伝送回路を示す。
図5において、1,2,3,…,N−1,Nは送受信回路、6は電線4と5からなる1対の伝送ケーブル、7は伝送ケーブル6のシールド線(シールド電極)、8と9は伝送ケーブル6と等しいインピーダンスを持つ終端抵抗を示す。送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nはおのおの伝送ケーブル6に並列に接続され、相互に信号をやり取りする。終端抵抗8,9は伝送ケーブル6の終端に並列に接続され、伝送ケーブル6の終端での信号の反射を防止する。
送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nのいずれかから送信された信号は、伝送ケーブル6を経由しすべての送受信回路に伝達される。送受信回路1は、パルストランス12とドライバ13からなるドライバ回路11とレシーバ14から構成される。送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nも同様である。
FIG. 5 shows a transmission circuit described in Patent Documents 1 and 2.
In FIG. 5, 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N are transmission / reception circuits, 6 is a pair of transmission cables composed of electric wires 4 and 5, 7 is a shield wire (shield electrode) of the transmission cable 6, and Reference numeral 9 denotes a terminating resistor having an impedance equal to that of the transmission cable 6. The transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N are connected in parallel to the transmission cable 6 and exchange signals with each other. Termination resistors 8 and 9 are connected in parallel to the end of the transmission cable 6 to prevent signal reflection at the end of the transmission cable 6.
Signals transmitted from any of the transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N are transmitted to all the transmission / reception circuits via the transmission cable 6. The transmission / reception circuit 1 includes a driver circuit 11 including a pulse transformer 12 and a driver 13 and a receiver 14. The same applies to the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N.

ここで、送受信回路1からの送信信号を、送受信回路2が受信する場合を例に動作を説明する。送受信回路1のドライバ13のイネーブル信号(ENin1)にH(ハイ)レベルが入力されている間、ドライバ13は送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号をパルストランス12に印加する。パルストランス12は伝送ケーブル6を介し、送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nに送信信号を伝達する。   Here, the operation will be described by taking as an example a case where the transmission / reception circuit 2 receives a transmission signal from the transmission / reception circuit 1. While the H (high) level is input to the enable signal (ENin1) of the driver 13 of the transmission / reception circuit 1, the driver 13 applies a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) to the pulse transformer 12. The pulse transformer 12 transmits a transmission signal to the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N−1, N via the transmission cable 6.

送受信回路2に伝送された信号は、送受信回路2内部のパルストランス22を介しレシーバ24に伝達される。レシーバ24は伝達されてきた信号に基き、受信信号(Dout2)を出力する。送受信回路1,3,…,N−1,Nの内部ドライバも同様の動作により、受信信号(Dout1,…)を出力する。また、送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nの内部ドライバも同様の動作により、伝送信号(Din2,…)に基づく送信信号を出力可能である。
図5の信号伝送回路により、送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nの相互間で信号伝送が可能である。信号を送信する際には、信号を送信するタイミングを他の送受信回路とずらし信号の衝突を防止する(時分割方式)。
The signal transmitted to the transmission / reception circuit 2 is transmitted to the receiver 24 via the pulse transformer 22 inside the transmission / reception circuit 2. The receiver 24 outputs a received signal (Dout2) based on the transmitted signal. The internal drivers of the transmission / reception circuits 1, 3,..., N-1, N also output reception signals (Dout1,...) By the same operation. Also, the internal drivers of the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N can output a transmission signal based on the transmission signal (Din2,...) By the same operation.
The signal transmission circuit shown in FIG. 5 enables signal transmission between the transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N. When transmitting a signal, the signal transmission timing is shifted from other transmission / reception circuits to prevent signal collision (time division method).

信号を送信するタイミングが複数の送受信回路で一致すると、伝送ケーブル6を複数のドライバで駆動することになる。複数のドライバが互いに異なるレベルの信号を送信しようとすると、ドライバに大きな電流が流れドライバが焼損に至ることがある。ドライバ13の出力が短絡故障すると、パルストランス12を介し伝送ケーブル6も短絡状態となる。伝送ケーブル6が短絡状態となると、送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nの相互間で信号伝送ができなくなり、信号伝送システム全体が動作不能となる。また、その他の原因によっても信号伝送回路の部品が故障することがあり、信号伝送システムの動作に影響を与える。   When the signal transmission timings coincide in a plurality of transmission / reception circuits, the transmission cable 6 is driven by a plurality of drivers. When a plurality of drivers try to transmit signals of different levels, a large current may flow through the driver, causing the driver to burn out. When the output of the driver 13 is short-circuited, the transmission cable 6 is also short-circuited via the pulse transformer 12. When the transmission cable 6 is short-circuited, signal transmission between the transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N−1, N becomes impossible and the entire signal transmission system becomes inoperable. In addition, other causes may cause failure of the components of the signal transmission circuit, affecting the operation of the signal transmission system.

上記のように、図5に示すものでは、ドライバ出力の短絡故障などの回路故障が、システム全体に悪影響を与えるという問題がある。
したがって、この発明の課題は、回路故障がシステム全体に悪影響を与えないようにすることにある。
As described above, the circuit shown in FIG. 5 has a problem that a circuit fault such as a short circuit fault of the driver output adversely affects the entire system.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to prevent a circuit failure from adversely affecting the entire system.

このような課題を解決するため、請求項1の発明では、一対の伝送ケーブルと、この伝送ケーブルと等しいインピーダンスを持つ終端回路と、複数の送受信回路とを備えた信号伝送回路において、
前記終端回路は前記伝送ケーブルの両端にそれぞれ接続され、前記送受信回路は直列接続された2個以上のドライバ回路から構成することを特徴とする。
In order to solve such problems, in the invention of claim 1, in a signal transmission circuit comprising a pair of transmission cables, a termination circuit having an impedance equal to that of the transmission cable, and a plurality of transmission / reception circuits,
The termination circuit is connected to both ends of the transmission cable, and the transmission / reception circuit is composed of two or more driver circuits connected in series.

Invention).

この発明によれば、ドライバ短絡故障,レシーバ故障,伝送ケーブル故障等があった場合にも、信号伝送システム全体に悪影響を与えることなく信号伝送を継続できるだけでなく、各故障の発生箇所を正確に検出することが可能となる。   According to the present invention, even when there is a driver short-circuit failure, receiver failure, transmission cable failure, etc., not only can signal transmission continue without adversely affecting the entire signal transmission system, but also the location where each failure occurs can be accurately determined. It becomes possible to detect.

図1はこの発明の実施の形態を示す回路図である。同図からも明らかなように、これは図5に示す送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nの内部構成を変更したものである。すなわち、送受信回路1は、ドライバ回路11とドライバ回路16との直列接続回路に、レシーバ14を並列接続して構成される。ドライバ回路11はドライバ13からなり、ドライバ回路16はドライバ18からなっており、この構成は他の送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nも同様である。   FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, this is a modification of the internal configuration of the transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N shown in FIG. That is, the transmission / reception circuit 1 is configured by connecting a receiver 14 in parallel to a series connection circuit of a driver circuit 11 and a driver circuit 16. The driver circuit 11 is composed of a driver 13, and the driver circuit 16 is composed of a driver 18. This configuration is the same for the other transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N.

先ず、図1の正常時の動作について説明する。
送受信回路1のドライバ13のイネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、ドライバ13は送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号を出力する。ドライバ18も同様に、イネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号を出力する。ドライバ13の出力信号は、ドライバ13とドライバ18の接続点電位に対してプラス電圧とし、ドライバ18の出力信号は接続点電位に対してマイナス電圧とする。ドライバ13とドライバ18は直列接続されているので、ドライバ13,18の送信信号を加え合わせた信号が伝送ケーブル6に印加される。
First, the normal operation of FIG. 1 will be described.
While the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1) of the driver 13 of the transmission / reception circuit 1, the driver 13 outputs a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1). Similarly, the driver 18 outputs a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) while the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1). The output signal of the driver 13 is a positive voltage with respect to the connection point potential between the driver 13 and the driver 18, and the output signal of the driver 18 is a negative voltage with respect to the connection point potential. Since the driver 13 and the driver 18 are connected in series, a signal obtained by adding the transmission signals of the drivers 13 and 18 is applied to the transmission cable 6.

伝送ケーブル6に印加されて伝送されてきた信号は、送受信回路2内部のレシーバ24に伝達される。レシーバ24は、伝達されてきた信号に基き受信信号(Dout2)を出力する。このように、送受信回路1から送受信回路2に信号が伝送される。全てのドライバのイネーブル信号(ENin)がL(ロー)レベルとなり、伝送ケーブル6に信号が伝送されていない場合、各レシーバはHレベルを出力する。送受信回路1,3,…,N−1,N内部のレシーバも、同様に受信信号を出力する。また、送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,N内部のドライバも、同様に送信信号を出力可能である。   The signal applied to the transmission cable 6 and transmitted is transmitted to the receiver 24 in the transmission / reception circuit 2. The receiver 24 outputs a reception signal (Dout2) based on the transmitted signal. In this way, a signal is transmitted from the transmission / reception circuit 1 to the transmission / reception circuit 2. When the enable signals (ENin) of all the drivers become L (low) level and no signal is transmitted to the transmission cable 6, each receiver outputs an H level. Similarly, the receivers in the transmission / reception circuits 1, 3,..., N-1, N also output reception signals. Further, the drivers in the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N can similarly output transmission signals.

次に、ドライバ故障の例として、ドライバ18の短絡故障時の動作について説明する。
ドライバ13はイネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号を出力する。しかし、ここではドライバ18は故障しているので、イネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されても出力電圧は0のままである。よって、送受信回路1の送信時に伝送ケーブル6に印加される信号電圧は、正常動作時の半分となる。また、伝送ケーブル6により送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nに印加される信号電圧も正常動作時の半分となる。レシーバの入力感度を信号電圧が正常動作時の半分になっても受信可能としておくことにより、ドライバの短絡故障時においても伝送動作を継続することができる。
Next, as an example of a driver failure, an operation when the driver 18 is short-circuited will be described.
The driver 13 outputs a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) while the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1). However, since the driver 18 is malfunctioning here, the output voltage remains 0 even when the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1). Therefore, the signal voltage applied to the transmission cable 6 at the time of transmission by the transmission / reception circuit 1 is half that during normal operation. Further, the signal voltage applied to the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N by the transmission cable 6 is also half that of the normal operation. By making the input sensitivity of the receiver receivable even when the signal voltage is half that during normal operation, the transmission operation can be continued even in the event of a short circuit failure of the driver.

図2にこの発明の他の実施の形態を示す。
これは、図5に示す送受信回路1,2,3,…,N−1,Nの内部構成を変更するとともに、AND(論理積)ゲート31,32,…、EXOR(排他的論理和)ゲート41,42,…を追加したものである。
図示のように、送受信回路1はドライバ回路11とドライバ回路16との直列接続回路から構成され、ドライバ回路11とドライバ回路16との接続点は、インピーダンス素子15を介して伝送ケーブル6のシールド線7に接続される。
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
This changes the internal structure of the transmission / reception circuits 1, 2, 3,..., N-1, N shown in FIG. 5 and AND (logical product) gates 31, 32, ..., EXOR (exclusive OR) gates. 41, 42,... Are added.
As shown in the figure, the transmission / reception circuit 1 is constituted by a series connection circuit of a driver circuit 11 and a driver circuit 16, and a connection point between the driver circuit 11 and the driver circuit 16 is a shielded wire of the transmission cable 6 via an impedance element 15. 7 is connected.

ドライバ回路11はパルストランス12とドライバ13とレシーバ14から構成され、ドライバ回路16はパルストランス17とドライバ18とレシーバ19から構成される。ANDゲート31はレシーバ14の出力(Dout11)とレシーバ19の出力(Dout12)の論理積から受信信号(Dout1)を、EXORゲート41はレシーバ14の出力(Dout11)とレシーバ19の出力(Dout12)の排他的論理和から故障信号1を作成する。他の送受信回路2,3,…,N−1,Nも同様であり、受信信号(Dout2,…)と故障信号2,…を作成する。   The driver circuit 11 includes a pulse transformer 12, a driver 13, and a receiver 14, and the driver circuit 16 includes a pulse transformer 17, a driver 18, and a receiver 19. The AND gate 31 receives the reception signal (Dout1) from the logical product of the output (Dout11) of the receiver 14 and the output (Dout12) of the receiver 19, and the EXOR gate 41 outputs the output (Dout11) of the receiver 14 and the output (Dout12) of the receiver 19 A fault signal 1 is created from the exclusive OR. The other transmission / reception circuits 2, 3,..., N-1, N are the same, and generate reception signals (Dout2,...) And failure signals 2,.

ここで、送受信回路1からの伝送信号を送受信回路2で受信する場合と、送受信回路2からの伝送信号を送受信回路1で受信する場合について、図3を参照して説明する。なお、図3の(a)は正常動作時を、同(b)はドライバ18故障時を、同(c)はレシーバ19の故障時をそれぞれ示す。また、ENinは送受信回路1のイネーブル信号、Dinは送信データ信号、Lineは伝送ケーブル6の電圧、Dout11,Dout12は送受信回路1の受信信号、Dout1はANDゲート31の出力、故障信号1はEXORゲート41の出力、Dout21,Dout22は送受信回路2の受信信号、Dout2はANDゲート32の出力、故障信号2はEXORゲート42の出力をそれぞれ示す。   Here, a case where the transmission signal from the transmission / reception circuit 1 is received by the transmission / reception circuit 2 and a case where the transmission signal from the transmission / reception circuit 2 is received by the transmission / reception circuit 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3A shows the normal operation, FIG. 3B shows the time when the driver 18 fails, and FIG. 3C shows the time when the receiver 19 fails. ENin is an enable signal of the transmission / reception circuit 1, Din is a transmission data signal, Line is a voltage of the transmission cable 6, Dout11 and Dout12 are reception signals of the transmission / reception circuit 1, Dout1 is an output of the AND gate 31, and a failure signal 1 is an EXOR gate. 41, Dout21 and Dout22 are received signals of the transmission / reception circuit 2, Dout2 is an output of the AND gate 32, and a failure signal 2 is an output of the EXOR gate 42.

図3(a)に正常時の動作波形を示す。
送受信回路1のドライバ13のイネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、ドライバ13は送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号をパルストランス12に印加する。ドライバ18も同様に、イネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号をパルストランス17に印加する。パルストランス12と17は直列接続されているので、ドライバ13からの送信信号とドライバ18からの送信信号とを加え合わせたものが伝送ケーブル6に印加される。
FIG. 3A shows an operation waveform in a normal state.
While the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1) of the driver 13 of the transmission / reception circuit 1, the driver 13 applies a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) to the pulse transformer 12. Similarly, the driver 18 applies a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) to the pulse transformer 17 while the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1). Since the pulse transformers 12 and 17 are connected in series, a combination of the transmission signal from the driver 13 and the transmission signal from the driver 18 is applied to the transmission cable 6.

伝送ケーブル6に印加され伝送されてきた信号は、送受信回路2のパルストランス22と27を介し、レシーバ24と29にそれぞれ伝達される。レシーバ24は伝達されてきた信号に基づき受信信号1(Dout21)を、同様にレシーバ29は受信信号2(Dout22)をそれぞれ出力する。このように、送受信回路1から送受信回路2に信号が伝送される。すべてのドライバのイネーブル信号(ENin)がLレベルとなり、伝送ケーブル6に信号が伝送されていない場合、各レシーバはHレベルを出力する。   Signals applied and transmitted to the transmission cable 6 are transmitted to the receivers 24 and 29 via the pulse transformers 22 and 27 of the transmission / reception circuit 2, respectively. The receiver 24 outputs the received signal 1 (Dout21) based on the transmitted signal, and similarly the receiver 29 outputs the received signal 2 (Dout22). In this way, a signal is transmitted from the transmission / reception circuit 1 to the transmission / reception circuit 2. When the enable signals (ENin) of all the drivers are at the L level and no signal is transmitted to the transmission cable 6, each receiver outputs an H level.

正常動作時は、レシーバ24に入力される信号とレシーバ29に入力される信号とは同じなので、受信信号(Dout2)は受信信号1(Dout21)や受信信号2(Dout22)と同一の波形となり、故障信号2は常にLレベルとなる。送受信回路1,3,N−1,N内部のレシーバも、上記と同様に受信信号を出力する。また、送受信回路2,3,N−1,N内部のドライバも、上記と同様に送信信号を出力可能である。   During normal operation, since the signal input to the receiver 24 and the signal input to the receiver 29 are the same, the received signal (Dout2) has the same waveform as the received signal 1 (Dout21) and the received signal 2 (Dout22). The failure signal 2 is always at L level. The receivers in the transmission / reception circuits 1, 3, N-1, and N also output reception signals in the same manner as described above. Further, the drivers in the transmission / reception circuits 2, 3, N-1, and N can output transmission signals in the same manner as described above.

図3(b)に、ドライバ18の短絡故障時の動作波形を示す。
ドライバ13は送受信回路1のイネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されている間、送信データ信号(Din1)に基づく送信信号をパルストランス12に印加する。しかし、ドライバ18はイネーブル信号(ENin1)にHレベルが入力されても、出力電圧は0のままである。よって、送受信回路1の送信時に伝送ケーブル6に印加される信号電圧は、正常動作時の半分となる。レシーバの入力感度を、信号電圧が正常動作時の半分になっても受信可能な程度とすることで、ドライバの短絡故障時においても伝送動作を継続することができる。
FIG. 3B shows an operation waveform when the driver 18 is short-circuited.
The driver 13 applies a transmission signal based on the transmission data signal (Din1) to the pulse transformer 12 while the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1) of the transmission / reception circuit 1. However, the output voltage of the driver 18 remains 0 even when the H level is input to the enable signal (ENin1). Therefore, the signal voltage applied to the transmission cable 6 at the time of transmission by the transmission / reception circuit 1 is half that during normal operation. By setting the input sensitivity of the receiver so that it can be received even when the signal voltage is half that during normal operation, the transmission operation can be continued even in the event of a short circuit failure of the driver.

この条件において、送受信回路2の受信信号1,2(Dout21,22)と送受信回路1の受信信号1(Dout11)は、正常動作時の受信信号と同様な信号となる。送受信回路2の受信信号2(Dout12)は、送受信回路1の送信時にHレベルとなる。よって、EXORゲート41の出力信号(故障信号1)は、ドライバ13がLレベルを出力するタイミングにおいてHレベルを出力し、送受信回路1のドライバが短絡故障していることを検出する。   Under this condition, the reception signals 1 and 2 (Dout 21 and 22) of the transmission / reception circuit 2 and the reception signal 1 (Dout 11) of the transmission and reception circuit 1 are the same signals as the reception signals during normal operation. The reception signal 2 (Dout12) of the transmission / reception circuit 2 becomes H level during transmission of the transmission / reception circuit 1. Therefore, the output signal (failure signal 1) of the EXOR gate 41 outputs the H level at the timing when the driver 13 outputs the L level, and detects that the driver of the transmission / reception circuit 1 is short-circuited.

図3(c)に、レシーバ19の故障時の動作波形を示す。
送受信回路1の送信時には、レシーバ19の故障とは関係なく正常動作となる。送受信回路1の送信時において、受信信号1(Dout11)は正常動作時の受信信号と同様な信号となるが、レシーバ19の出力である受信信号2(Dout12)は常にHレベルを出力する。ANDゲート31の出力である受信信号(Dout1)は、受信信号1(Dout11)と同様な信号波形となり、正常動作時と同様な受信信号が得られる。EXORゲート41の出力信号(故障信号1)は、伝送ケーブルに接続されているいずれかのドライバがLレベルを出力するタイミングにおいてHレベルを出力し、送受信回路1のレシーバが故障していることを検出する。
FIG. 3C shows an operation waveform at the time of failure of the receiver 19.
At the time of transmission by the transmission / reception circuit 1, normal operation is performed regardless of the failure of the receiver 19. At the time of transmission by the transmission / reception circuit 1, the reception signal 1 (Dout11) is the same signal as the reception signal during normal operation, but the reception signal 2 (Dout12), which is the output of the receiver 19, always outputs an H level. The reception signal (Dout1) that is the output of the AND gate 31 has a signal waveform similar to that of the reception signal 1 (Dout11), and a reception signal similar to that during normal operation is obtained. The output signal (failure signal 1) of the EXOR gate 41 outputs an H level at a timing when any driver connected to the transmission cable outputs an L level, indicating that the receiver of the transmission / reception circuit 1 has failed. To detect.

図4(a)に、伝送ケーブル1線の地絡故障の例として、電線5とシールド線の短絡故障時の動作波形を示す。
電線5が地絡すると、電線5に接続されるドライバ回路16,26,…は出力短絡状態となる。ドライバ回路16,26,…に接続されるレシーバ19,29,…の出力である受信信号2(Dout12,22,…)は常にHレベルを出力する。このとき、送信側の送受信回路から伝送ケーブルに印加される信号電圧は、正常動作時の半分になる。受信側では、電線4に接続されるドライバ回路11,21,…だけに信号電圧が印加されるため、ドライバ回路11,21,…に接続されるレシーバ14,24,…に印加される電圧は正常動作時と同じになる。
FIG. 4A shows an operation waveform at the time of a short-circuit failure between the electric wire 5 and the shield wire as an example of a ground fault in the transmission cable.
When the electric wire 5 is grounded, the driver circuits 16, 26,... Connected to the electric wire 5 are in an output short-circuit state. The reception signal 2 (Dout12, 22,...) That is the output of the receivers 19, 29,... Connected to the driver circuits 16, 26,. At this time, the signal voltage applied to the transmission cable from the transmission / reception circuit on the transmission side is half that during normal operation.
