Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure resistance in a short time as required at any time by measuring a resistance during network operation. CONSTITUTION:A measuring timing control section 7 checks information representing a packet received at first from a carrier sense section 3 in the case of measurement and awaits till packets are lost in the case of presence of packets and gives an output command for measuring signal to a measuring signal output section 5 immediately in the case of absence of packet or when the packet is lost. Then the measuring timing control section 7 gives a command of resistance calculation to a resistance calculation section 6 after the lapse of time Tmax, and gives a command of measuring signal output stop to the measuring signal output section 5 after the resistance calculation section 6 finishes calculating the resistance. Thus, the resistance is measured in a short time as required.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the carrier sense unit 3 in FIG. 1 constantly monitors whether packets are flowing on the shared 1 transmission path 1 and sends information on the presence or absence of buckets 1 to the measurement timing control unit 7. When determining the JPL, the measurement timing control unit 7 first checks the presence/absence information received by the carrier sense unit 3 in bucket 1, and if there is a packet, it waits until there are no more packets, and if there is no bucket 1-. (or if the packet is lost), an instruction to output a measurement signal is immediately issued to the measurement signal output section 5. After that, the measurement timing control section 7 issues an instruction to the resistance value calculation section 6 to calculate the resistance value after the Tmax time has elapsed, and after the resistance value calculation section 6 calculates the resistance value, the measurement signal 2 is output. A command is issued to unit 5 to stop outputting the measurement signal.

When the measurement signal output unit 5 receives a measurement signal output command from the measurement timing control unit 7 , it transmits the measurement signal to the shared transmission path 1 via the current measurement unit 4 , and outputs the measurement signal from the measurement timing control unit 7 . When receiving a command to stop output, it stops transmitting measurement signals. The current measurement section 4 always sends the current value of the signal output from the measurement signal output section 5 to the shared transmission path 1 to the resistance calculation section 6. When the resistance calculation unit 6 receives the command to calculate the resistance value from the measurement timing control unit 7, the resistance calculation unit 6 starts the current measurement unit 4.
Read the current value from , convert it to resistance value and display it.

Figure 2 shows the flow of signals on the transmission path.
In 1), the transmission line is always in an idle state, and as soon as the idle state of the transmission line is detected at the measurement start point 12, the measurement signal 9 is output, and the resistance value is measured at the resistance value measurement point 11. In (2), there is a collision between the measurement signal and a communication packet from another transmission device, and when the state of the transmission line idle 13 is detected at the measurement start point 18, the measurement signal 14 is immediately output. However, one or more transmission devices are also in the state of transmission line idle 14! A collision occurs because two packets are detected at the same time and the packets are output. The collision period 15 ends at T, which is the sum of the packet transmission time of the maximum packet length and the propagation delay time.
.. .. .. Since it is shorter than 16 hours, only the measurement signal l4 is flowing at the resistance value measurement point 17, so that the correct resistance value can be measured. In (3), the communication packet sent by the transmission device at measurement start point I.24)
・If 19 is flowing on the transmission path, communication packet 1
9 is completed, and the transmission line idles 21. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention enables resistance value measurement during network operation, and resistance can be measured whenever necessary and in a short time. It has the effect of making it possible.
