Sub ₂₁ , Sub ₂₂ , Sub ₂ n..., which are interposed between the base unit and the slave unit via the reporting line, and the base unit,
This is a reporting system consisting of main units S ₁ and S ₂ that perform exchange control between slave units. Main device M ₁ and main device S ₁ in the reporting system and the main device in the reporting system
M ₂ and main device S ₂ have reporting lines l ₁₁ , l ₂₁ , respectively.
It is connected via control lines l ₁₂ and l ₂₂ . Between the main devices S ₁ and S ₂ of the communication system is a notification transfer line L ₃ that transfers the notification to the notification system, and from the main device S ₂ to the main device S ₁
and vice versa, via transfer control lines l ₄ and l ₅ that send transfer control signals that control the main device of the notification system during the transfer. In the main device S ₁ , IF ₁ is a terminal interface for slave units Sub ₁₁ , Sub ₁₂ ,...Sub ₁ n, and CPU ₁ generates a report control signal in response to the report signal SCAN ₁ input from the terminal interface IF ₁ . CALL ₁ and the notification line connection control signal CT ₁ are output, or the notification control signal CALL ₁ is stopped in response to a notification response signal input from the base unit M ₁ via the control line l ₁₂ , and the notification signal is Selective connection signal SEL ₁ corresponding to SCAN ₁
It also outputs a transfer control signal MS ₁ in response to a transfer request signal input from the base unit M ₁ via the control line l ₁₂ , and also outputs a notification input from the terminal interface IF ₁ at this time. It is a central processing unit that outputs predetermined control signals in response to various input signals, such as transferring the signal SCAN ₁ to the main device _S2 of the reporting system via the transfer control line _l5 . A ₁₁ is an AND element which inputs the notification line connection control signal CT ₁ and the transfer control signal MS ₁ , Tr ₁₁ is a transistor driven by the output of the AND element, and Ry ₁₁ is controlled by the transistor Tr ₁₁ . Relay SW ₁₁ is a contact point of the relay Ry ₁₁ , and is a transfer switch interposed in the report transfer line _l3 . Note that the AND element A ₁₁ , the transistor Tr ₁₁ ,
Relay Ry ₁₁ constitutes a control circuit C ₁₁ that closes the transfer switch SW ₁₁ .

A ₁₂ is an AND element that receives as input the notification line connection control signal CT ₁ and the inverted signal of the transfer control signal MS ₁ ;
Tr ₁₂ is a transistor driven by the output of the AND element. Ry ₁₂ is a relay controlled by the transistor Tr ₁₂ , and SW ₁₂ is a contact point of the relay Ry ₁₂ and a notification switch interposed in the notification line _l11 . Furthermore, the AND element A ₁₂ and the transistor

The circuit configuration of the main device S ₂ is also the same as that of the main device S ₁ , except that the transfer switch SW ₂₁ of the main device S 2 is directly connected to the main device M ₂ , whereas the transfer switch SW 21 of the main device S ₂ is connected to the main device M ₂ . Therefore, the explanation will be omitted. In this way, the notification transfer line _l3 is connected between the handset side terminal of the notification switch SW ₁₂ of the other notification system and the base unit side terminal of the notification switch SW ₂₂ of one notification system.

The operation of the reporting device configured as above will be explained.

First, when each reporting system is independent,
Each control signal of the central processing unit CPU ₁ of the reporting system
CALL ₁ , CT ₁ , MS ₁ and the _control signals CALL ₂ , CT ₂ , MS 2 of the central processing unit CPU ₂ of the reporting system are all set in advance to be at Low level (hereinafter abbreviated as L level). At this time, the report signal SCAN ₁ from any of the child devices Sub ₁₁ , Sub ₁₂ , ...Sub ₁ n in the reporting system is sent to the terminal interface IF _1.
When input _{to central processing} unit CPU _{1 via} Ry ₁₃
, and set its contact SW ₁₃ to the 1 side. Then, AND element A ₁₂ is activated, and its output drives transistor Tr ₁₂ and relay Ry ₁₂ , and its contact SW ₁₂ is closed. Therefore, the notification oscillator unit OSC ₁
The output is sent to base unit _M1 and the notification is completed.

The central processing unit is activated by the response signal from the main unit _M1 .
The CPU ₁ sets the notification control signal CALL ₁ to L level, returns the contact SW ₁₃ of the relay RY ₁₃ to the 2 side, stops notification to the base unit M ₁ , and sends the selection connection signal SEL ₁ corresponding to the notification signal SCAN ₁ . Since it is output to the terminal interface IF ₁ , the base unit and slave unit can communicate with each other.

In the reporting system, reporting between the base unit and the slave unit is also possible in the same manner as described above.

Next, a case will be explained in which all the reports from slave devices in the reporting system are concentrated on the parent device _M2 in the reporting system.

When a transfer request signal is input to the central control unit CPU 1 via the control line l ₁₂ from _the master device M ₁ that desires transfer, the central processing unit CPU ₁ receives the transfer control signal.
Set MS ₁ and reporting line connection control signal CT ₁ to H level. At this time, when the notification signal SCAN ₁ is input from any child device in the notification system to the central processing unit CPU ₁ via the terminal interface IF ₁ , the central processing unit CPU ₁ sets the notification control signal CALL ₁ to H level. Similarly to the above, the contact SW ₁₃ is set to the 1 side, and the notification signal SCAN ₁ is input to the central processing unit CPU ₂ of the notification system via the transfer control line _l5 , and the central processing unit CPU ₂ is connected to the notification line. control signal
CT ₂ and transfer control signal MS ₂ are set to H level. Therefore, the AND element A ₁₁ in the main device S ₁ and the AND element A ₂₁ in the main device S ₂ are made active, and the contact SW ₁₁ ,
When SW ₂₁ is closed, the output from the notification oscillation unit OSC ₁ is sent to the base unit M ₂ via the notification transfer line l ₃ .

In the same way, it is possible to concentrate the notifications of other child devices to the parent device _M2 of the reporting system.

The response signal from the main unit M ₂ is input to the central processing unit CPU ₁ via the transfer control line l ₄ , and the central processing unit CPU ₁ sets the notification control signal CALL ₁ to L level and returns the contact SW ₁₃ to the 2 side. At the same time as stopping the notification to the main unit M ₂ , the selection connection signal SEL _{1 corresponding to the above-mentioned notification signal SCAN 1 is} output to the terminal interface IF ₁ , so the child unit of the reporting system and the main unit of the reporting system transfer the report. Mutual notification is possible via line _l3 .

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, reports from slave units can be automatically concentrated on one specific base unit by operating the base unit,
There are great economic advantages, such as the wiring of the slave unit being simplified, the circuit configuration of the main unit being simplified, and the need for a separate master unit for central use.
