Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a central processing unit for controlling station equipment that can be used at all stations on a railway line.

Conventionally, each station on a railway line is equipped with a central processing unit to supervise station equipment such as ticket vending machines and automatic ticket gates, and the central processing unit is installed in the memory of the central processing unit. Station service data such as the departure station code, departure station character data, fare data, and number of encoded sections are stored for each station.

Each station service device performs station service operations based on the station service data input from the central processing unit.

However, in the conventional type, only the central processing unit is stored, so when a light once installed at a certain station is relocated to Ume Station, station service data is stored in the memory of the central processing unit for each relocated light. There was a problem in that the central processing unit could not be easily relocated because the central processing unit had to be changed. Further, in the conventional type, since it is necessary to store different station service data for each station, there is an inconvenience that the devices are diversified and the installation and maintenance work of the devices becomes complicated.

In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional type, an object of the present invention is to store station service data for all stations in the memory of a central processing unit that supervises station service equipment. Based on the concept of supplying only necessary station service data to station service equipment, we installed a central processing unit,
The purpose is to facilitate relocation, maintenance, etc.

In the central processing unit for station equipment that controls station equipment such as automatic ticket gates, station equipment data such as departure station codes, departure station character data, fares, and number of encoded sections for all stations is sent to the central processing unit. A setting unit is provided for setting identification data regarding the installation station such as a memory to store and the station number of the installation station of the central processing unit, and the central processing unit is configured to transmit information to the station service equipment based on the identification data set from the setting unit. It is characterized by being able to supply station service data for the installed station.

The present invention will be described in detail below using the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a central processing unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a setting section 4 including a processor 2, a memory 3, a setting switch, etc., and an interface section 5-1.・・・
. . , 5-M, . . . , 5-R, etc., and the processor 2, setting section 4, and each interface section are connected to a common bus 6.
connected via. Station service equipment is connected to each station, and in the example shown in Figure 1, ticket vending machines 7-1 to 7-M are connected to interface sections 5-1 to 5-M, respectively. .

FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of information in the memory 3 of the central processing unit 1 mentioned above. In the memory 3, station service data for all stations are stored for each station number 1 to n. For example, the station service data for station number l is departure station code A1,
Departure station character data B.

and fare data C! etc. are stored. Further, in the memory 3, the central processing unit to the ticket vending machines 7-1 to 7-
A pointer t for sequentially transferring data to station service equipment such as M is stored, and while stepping through the pointer t,
Station service indicated by pointer t □Data is transferred to the equipment. - FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure for sequentially transferring imperial edict data to the ticket vending machines 7-1 to 7-M connected to the central processing unit 1. The procedure will be explained below according to the flowchart. Central processing unit 1
is installed at a certain station, the setting unit 4 sets the station number m of the station where the central processing unit 1 is installed and the central processing unit 1
The number M of station service equipment such as ticket vending machines connected to is set. The processor 2 reads these set station numbers m and number M from the setting section 4 and stores them in a predetermined work area in the memory 3 or in a register in the processor 2. next·,
The pointer t in the memory 3 is set to 1, and the station service data Am, Bm, Cm, . -1. When the transfer is completed, the pointer t is incremented by 1, and then the value of the pointer t is compared with the number M of ticket vending machines. As a result of this comparison, if the value of the pointer t is smaller than or equal to the value of the number M, the ticket vending machine 7 of the number indicated by the pointer t
−1, station service data Am, −Bm, , Cm +
"' is transferred via the interface 5-1. In this way, when the station service data Am + Bm + Cm, z... is transferred to all ticket vending machines 7-1 to 7-M, The data transfer process is completed, and each ticket vending machine etc. operates based on the transferred station service data.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the central processing unit 1 is installed or re-installed, the setting unit 4 simply sets data such as the station number of the installed station or relocated station, and the central processing unit Since the station data necessary for the equipment is automatically transmitted, there is no need to change the memory contents of the central processing unit at each station, making installation, relocation, and maintenance of the central processing unit easy. .
