Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically set the addresses of an adapter and of a controller by automatically setting the self-station address of a telegraphic message to be transmitted by a first communication control means as the address when transmitting the telegraphic message excepting for a telegraphic message declaring the self-station address. CONSTITUTION:Terminals 1 and 2 are connected to a power line 3 of a commercial alternating current. This terminal 1 is composed of a receiving means 4, transmitting means 5, first communication control means 6, address storing means 7 for storing the self-station address, identification number 8 allocated to the terminal, transmission request receiving means 9 for the telegraphic message declaring the self-station address, and command discriminating means 12 for receiving the transmission request of the self-station address. When transmitting the telegraphic message declaring the self- station address, the self-station address with the number of digits suitable for the device is automatically set from the identification number having a lot of digits different for each terminal equipment by competing the transmission in collision. Thus, a high-reliability communication equipment can be realized and waiting time until retransmission can be also constituted as the value of the self-station number having a little digits.

(Function) According to the present invention, upon receiving the own address message, the terminal that is requested to send the own address declaration message receives the provisionally assigned temporary own address and the own address setting command. A self-station address setting message consisting of an identification number that is different for each terminal device is transmitted by the second communication control means. If another terminal also starts transmitting at the same time, the temporary own address and own address setting command will be the same, so even if two or more terminals are transmitting, if the same signal is being transmitted, the other terminal will also Although it is not known that the message is being sent, when the identification number in the message is sent, it is different for each terminal, so a signal collision occurs and simultaneous transmission from two or more terminals is detected. At that time, when a transmission signal is detected while the transmission signal is not being output, and the other terminal detects that the other terminal is transmitting, the terminal that detected the transmission stops transmitting. In other words, only one terminal that can complete transmission without stopping transmission stores the temporary own address F as its own address in its own address setting means.

The present invention is configured as described above, and when the own station address has not been set yet, the receiving means 4 of the terminal 1 receives a telegram of an address automatic setting command with a temporary own station address as data, for example, by the controller (address setting machine). ) as shown in A of FIG.
The second communication control means 10 transmits a self-address setting message using the temporary own-station address, and transmits a own-station address setting message formed from the temporary own-station address, the own-station address setting command, and the identification number 8. 5 to the controller (Fig. 5). At the same time, when another terminal 2 starts transmitting (Fig. During the transmission, terminals 1 and 2 cannot detect the simultaneous transmission of the other terminal 2 or 1, but the identification number 8 in the message, which is different for each terminal.
When transmitting, there will be a different part in the transmitted signal, and the transmitting signal "O" from the other terminal 1 will be received before transmitting the signal "1" from the own station within the signal time (Fig. two)
As a result, it is possible to detect that another terminal 1 other than the own station is transmitting, and the terminal 2 that detects this stops the transmission by the second communication control means ]0. That is, only one terminal can send a message at any time. Second

When other terminals start transmitting at the same time, even if the temporary own address is the same and the own address declaration command is the same as in the first embodiment, the identification number 8 in the message is different for each terminal. It can be seen that two or more terminals are transmitting. Similarly to the first embodiment, during message transmission, the transmission signal "O" from the other terminal is received before the signal "l" of the own station is transmitted within one signal time, and the transmission signal of the other terminal is transmitted. When this is confirmed, transmission is stopped under the control of the second communication control means 1O, so that only one terminal can perform transmission at any time, and the own station address at that time is stored in the address storage means 7. be done.

The present invention has been described above with reference to two embodiments, and the signal "0" is synchronized with the power supply cycle and corresponds to the first half and second half of the cycle.
”, but for example, asynchronously with the power supply cycle, the unit time is “0”, the unit time 2 is signal “1”,
As a definition of repeating the presence or absence of a carrier wave, where 3 is the "start" and 4 or more is the "end", while the own station is not outputting a carrier wave while transmitting anything other than the own station address declaration message,
If the carrier wave of the other party is detected, it is assumed that a signal collision has been detected.
After transmitting 4 or more of the "end" signals, both sides stop transmission and retransmit, and if the carrier is detected while the own station is not outputting the carrier while transmitting the own station address declaration message, the signal is sent. It may be configured with a signal that can detect a signal collision and stop the transmission, such as stopping the transmission when a collision is detected.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention allows a device to receive an identification number from a large number of digits, which differs from terminal device to terminal device, by determining the winner of the transmission collision when transmitting the self-station address declaration message. A host address with an appropriate number of digits is automatically set, and if a signal collision is detected when transmitting a message other than the own address declaration message, the wait time for starting retransmission is set as the own address of each terminal. In this case, there will be no signal collision again, and both will retransmit, resulting in a highly reliable communication device. Further, the waiting time until retransmission can be configured as a value of the local address with a small number of digits, and a great effect can be obtained when implemented.
