Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the transmission efficiency of the entire system by keeping a cyclic time of a token circulating in a network system to a prescribed time or over. CONSTITUTION:A node 2 supervises that the transmission frame is received from a transmission line 1 and checks a destination address in a frame when a transmission frame is transmitted. When the frame is addressed to the own node, whether or not it is a token frame is checked and in case of the token frame, a comparison section 12 compares a count time of a timer 11 with a set value of a timer setting circuit 14. When the value is a setting value or over, a token is transmitted to the next node from a token transmission circuit 13. When the time is not the setting time or over, the count time of the timer 11 reaching the setting value or over of the timer setting circuit 14 is awaited and then a token is transmitted to the next node from the token transmission circuit 13.

Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Part Yf1] The present invention relates to a data transmission control method for a network system in which a plurality of transmission devices are connected via a communication medium, and in particular, in data transmission using a token passing method, the token circulation time is a certain period of time. The present invention relates to a data transmission control method for controlling the above conditions.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in token passing data transmission, one token is transferred to a transmission device (
The token is circulated to all nodes (hereinafter referred to as nodes), and only the node that receives the token acquires the right to transmit data, thereby eliminating data collisions on the transmission path.

However, the node manages the control between the transmission path and the information processing device (hereinafter referred to as host) connected to the notebook, and controls the transmission and reception with the transmission path, the transmission and reception control with the host, and the host.
It performs control processing such as formatting data from the transmission path. Because these processes have to be performed, as the token circulation speed increases, more time is spent processing the data received from the transmission line (flag discrimination, address discrimination ability), and the time to perform other processes is squeezed. As a result, the efficiency of the system as a whole deteriorated.

Further, 10 is a token discriminating circuit for discriminating whether or not the received data frame from the transmission line 1 is a token, and 11 is a timer which starts from the time when the redokun sending circuit 13 sends the token to the transmission line 1. The time at which it was determined that 10 tokens were received was measured. Reference numeral 12 is a comparison unit, which compares the value of the timer 11 and the value of the timer setting circuit 14. Reference numeral 13 is a token sending circuit that sends the token to the transmission path 1. Reference numeral 14 is a selection unit that is selected so as to maximize the efficiency of the system. This is a timer setting circuit that holds the value for a certain period of time.
