Conventional configuration and its problems There are two main types of control methods regarding communication transmission. One of these is a centralized control method, in which the new station manages communication control, and the slave stations transmit their own data under the control of the new station in accordance with data transmission requests from the new station. The other method is a distributed control method, in which each station has a distributed management function for communication control, and when a communication request occurs, communication is established with the other station, and then the signal is transmitted. be.

Conventionally, only the former control method has been available for signal transmission using commercial power lines, and therefore, as the number of slave stations increases, it is difficult to change procedures or settings related to transmission control for new stations. It had become necessary. Furthermore, if communication control is performed using a centralized control method, if a new station breaks down, the communication function will stop. This means that problems remain as a communication control method for systems that require reliability. Furthermore, when transmitting data from a slave station to another slave station, a new station must be interposed between the two stations, which lengthens the line's exclusive use time and reduces throughput.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention uses a distributed control method, and instead of controlling new stations and slave stations, each station equally controls communication between each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable commercial power superimposed communication device that prevents interruption of the entire line, has a high degree of freedom in increasing or decreasing the number of stations by effectively utilizing the line as a communication medium, and has high reliability.
