2. Description of the Related Art Since conventional side sliding door control for vehicles is based on a relay logic by a relay panel, the control logic of the side sliding door may differ depending on the specifications of the side sliding door opening / closing control system and the control devices of the side sliding door drive device. It may be different, and in this case it is necessary to newly design the relay board. Also, when controlling the opening and closing of the side sliding door with a transmission control device using a conventional relay panel, it is necessary to develop dedicated hardware for each different control system,
Also, even on the controlled equipment side (side sliding door drive equipment control equipment), the number of I / O (input / output) is different, so only the transmission control equipment by the manufacturer's exclusive relay panel can be installed. . Therefore, a dedicated I / F (interface) for each manufacturer of the above equipment
It is necessary to develop hardware having There are various patterns for a side sliding door opening / closing control system of a vehicle. For example, opening / closing only one side sliding door, opening / closing both sides, reopening the side sliding door when an object is caught and the side sliding door cannot be closed completely. One that automatically closes later,
For example, all side sliding doors are fully opened and automatically closed after a short time. What kind of control pattern is adopted depends on the customer's request, but the relay logic by the relay panel for controlling the side sliding door differs depending on the request. The outline of this typical control system is as shown in FIG. In this device, a control device 4 by a relay control circuit is provided for each of the left and right side sliding doors of each vehicle, and the control device 4 by this relay control circuit is turned on and off by an opening / closing switch operated by a conductor. Through line 2,
3 is connected in parallel and has a self-holding circuit. If the customer's request is to selectively open and close the left and right side sliding doors, the control device 4 will be installed. In this case, one of the left and right side sliding door opening / closing switches 1 will be installed. When the side-opening door "open" switch is operated, the pull-through wire 2 is energized, the self-holding circuit of the control device 4 of each vehicle is closed, and output from the output unit 4a.
The side sliding door control device 6a operates in response to this, and the side sliding door drive device 6b is operated to release the side sliding doors all at once. After that, when the "close" switch of the side sliding doors is operated, the pulling wire 3 is energized, the self-holding circuit is opened, and the side sliding doors are closed all together. Further, for example, when it is requested by the customer to enable a reopening / closing operation, a reopening / closing switch is provided in the opening / closing switch 1 of the conductor, a memory circuit is added to the control device 4, and the O
The N, OFF controlled pull-through line 5 is connected in parallel to the memory circuit of the control device 4. In this case, it is necessary to change the relay control circuit.

Further, when a customer requests that two door leaves at one side entrance and exit can be individually opened and closed, the relay control circuit of the controller 4 is changed accordingly. Furthermore, when an automatic opening / closing control function is required such that only the side sliding door where an object is sandwiched is automatically half-opened and then closed again, it is necessary to further change the relay control circuit. Since the customer's control system (sequence) requirements are different in this way, the relay control circuit must be recombined for each request, and the more requirements there are, the more complicated the control circuit becomes. Also, the drive device 6 for the side sliding door
With regard to the devices that make up the device, the customer may be required to use the device of a specific maker, and the control device 6 of the side sliding door drive device 6 is changed every time the device maker changes.
Since the output part to a and the input part from the drive device of the side sliding door are different, if the control device 6a of the drive device 6 of the side sliding door is different, the control device is designed accordingly. As mentioned above, customer side sliding door control system (sequence)
If it is not decided, the design of the control device by the relay board cannot be undertaken, and if the manufacturer of the equipment to be used cannot be decided, the concrete design cannot be started.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Even if the hardware design and construction of the side sliding door control system of a vehicle is performed without the specification of the side sliding door control system from the customer being determined, the present invention will not meet the requirements of the customer. The problem is to devise a transmission control device for the side sliding door so that software can handle it.

[0005]

Means 1 for Solving the Problems The means 1 of the present invention for solving the above problems is premised on a transmission control device between a drive device for an individual side sliding door of a vehicle and a side sliding door opening / closing switch in a passenger compartment. It is composed of the following (a) to (d). (A) A command control device (PC) that receives an operation signal from the side sliding door opening / closing switch is provided, and a terminal having a remote I / O is installed near the driving device of each side sliding door or inside the driving device of the side sliding door. the terminal and that connects the control device side pull <br/>-out door of the drive unit, connecting the (b) the instruction control unit and the remote I / O in a common transmission line installed in it, is write Mukoto set in the instruction control apparatus flop <br/> program according to the specifications of the switching control system (c) side sliding door (PC)

To be able to

[0006]

When the opening / closing signal of the side sliding door opening / closing switch is received, the command control device (PC) performs arithmetic processing according to the incorporated program, and the output is transmitted to the common transmission line. The remote I / O of each terminal selectively takes in the command signal from the command control device (PC), and the output signal of the form corresponding to the control device of the drive device of the corresponding side sliding door is output from the individual side sliding door. The output is output according to the I / F (interface) of the control device of the drive device, and the drive device of the side sliding door is controlled to open / close. Differences in the specifications of the opening / closing control system for the side sliding door due to the customer's request can be handled by the program installed in the command control device (PC) .
In addition, the difference in the control device of the drive device of the side sliding door (for example, the difference in I / F, etc.) can be set in the remote I / O.
It is possible to deal with this by using software that is included .
Thus, individual control devices a program according to the specification of the switching control system for the side sliding door requested by the customer can write Mukoto set to the instruction control unit (PC), also of the side sliding door drive unit since the software in accordance with the difference can embedded Mukoto the remote I / O, the opening and closing control system for a side sliding door for each train (sequence)
Irrespective of the customer's specifications and the specifications of the equipment used such as the control device for the side-sliding door drive device, it is not necessary to change the hardware design of the transmission control device for the side-sliding door of the vehicle.

By the way, the above-mentioned remote I / O receives a command signal from a transmission line, selectively fetches it, performs arithmetic processing in accordance with built-in software, and outputs an output signal of a desired form to a desired signal. It has an input / output control function of outputting by I / F, and also transmits required information such as various detection signals to a command control device (PC).
In this way, the transmission control system by remote I / O is
I / O information (input / output information) is transmitted / received between a large number of remote I / Os installed at points remote from the main body of the command control device (PC) and the command control device (PC) via a transmission line. What kind of command signal is transmitted to the remote I / O can be freely set and changed by a program incorporated in the command control device (PC), and how to selectively fetch various command signals. What kind of output is to be performed with respect to the fetched command signal can be freely set and changed by the software incorporated in the remote I / O. The general configuration of the control system using the command control device (PC) and the remote I / O is as follows.
Ru der as shown in Figure 2. The command control device (PC) has an input unit, a CPU, an output unit, a storage unit, receives commands from a push button switch, a selector switch, and the like, and the CPU performs a predetermined calculation according to a program in the storage unit.
The output section outputs a command signal to a transmission line (communication cable) by a predetermined I / F. Further, the remote I / O includes a command signal input section, a detection information output section, and a C
It has a PU, a memory for storing software, a memory for storing data, a command output section, and a detection data input section. The CPU fetches a predetermined command signal in accordance with the software stored in the memory A, and calculates it. Then, a predetermined command is output. The command control device (PC) in the solving means 1 of the present invention is relatively simple, and ON / OFF signals from various operation switches (open / close switches) for opening / closing the side sliding door operated by the conductor are opened / closed. It identifies a power side sliding door designation signal and outputs a command signal for each remote I / O according to a program.

The general concept of remote I / O is to receive a command signal transmitted from the command controller (PC) from the transmission line, identify it, selectively fetch it, and perform necessary processing. The controlled device outputs the required I / F to each controlled device, operates the controlled device that follows it, and outputs various information (detection signal, feedback signal, etc.) related to the operating state of the controlled device. It is transmitted to the command control device (PC). The remote I / O in the solution means 1 of the present invention receives a command signal for opening / closing operation of the side sliding door transmitted from the command control device (PC), identifies the signal, and selectively takes in the signal to perform necessary processing. Then, an opening / closing signal is output by a required I / F (interface) corresponding to the control device of the drive device for each side sliding door to operate the drive device for each side sliding door. Also, various related detection information such as the opened / closed state of each side sliding door or the state of peripheral devices is transmitted to the command control device (PC).

The remote I / O according to the above solving means 1
If Shimese the configured control system schematically by terminal having input and output functions provided with is shown in Figure 3. In this case, for example, turn on the left side sliding door "open" switch.
N Then, outputs the switch ON, the command control unit by integrated program (PC) identifies, in the transmission path a predetermined command signal by a predetermined calculation process. Only the remote I / O provided in the drive device 4 for the left sliding door of the vehicle (the same as the drive device 4 in FIG. 1B) captures this command signal, and the software installed in the remote I / O side An open signal is output by the I / F corresponding to the control device 6a of the drive device for the sliding door. This output causes a control device (for example, an electromagnetic valve) of the drive device for the side sliding door to operate to open the left side sliding door. When the left side sliding door "close" switch is turned on, the command control device (PC) identifies the switch ON signal and sends a command signal corresponding to the switch ON signal to the transmission path. When the "reopening / closing" switch on the left side is turned on, a command signal corresponding to this is transmitted from the command control device (PC) to the transmission path, and the remote I / O of the left side sliding door captures this and the left side Among the side sliding doors, only the side sliding doors that have not been completely closed due to an obstacle are "reopened and closed" all together in a short time. When the "open" switch of the right side sliding door is turned on , the command control device (PC) identifies the switch ON according to the installed program, and sends a command signal corresponding to this to the transmission path. Only the remote I / O provided in the drive device 6 for the right sliding door of the vehicle fetches this command signal, and according to the software incorporated in the remote I / O, it corresponds to the control device 6a of the drive device 6 for the side sliding door. It outputs by I / F (interface) and the right side sliding doors are opened all at once. Also, for example, when opening the left side sliding doors of other vehicles except for the front vehicle and the rearmost vehicle, the conductor pushes the excluded vehicle selection button and turns on the left side sliding door "open" switch The command control device (PC) identifies this according to the program and sends a command signal corresponding to it to the transmission line. The remote I / O of the control device 6a of the drive device 6 for the left side sliding door of the frontmost vehicle and the rearmost vehicle is
The command signal is not fetched by the built-in software, and only the remote I / O of the control device 6a for the left side sliding door of the other vehicle fetches the command signal and outputs the required "open" signal. Further, when the side sliding door “open” switch is turned off and the side sliding door is “closed”, and then the “reopen / close” switch is turned on, the command control device (PC) identifies the switch on by a built-in program. Then, the command signal corresponding to this is transmitted to the transmission path. Among the remote I / O of each vehicle, only the remote I / O that has not received the detection signal of "close" of the side sliding door (the detection signal of the complete closing of the sliding door) is It takes a command signal, outputs a side-sliding door "open" signal to the control device of the drive unit, and automatically slides the side-sliding door "close" after a predetermined time according to the incorporated software.
Output a signal. As a result, only the side sliding door that has not been completely closed is opened for a short time and then automatically closed again.
