Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the transmission efficiency on a transmission line by connecting a communication equipment having a function to control the transmission to each transmission line to each transmission line in applying information communication between different transmission lines. CONSTITUTION:Information processing units 4-7, 8-11 share transmission lines 1, 2 in common respectively and a communication equipment 3 is connected between the transmission lines 1, 2. In sending information from the transmission line 1 to the transmission line 2, a transmission frame is sent to an address demultiplex means 13 via a transmission line access means 12 of the equipment 3. The means 13 demultiplexes the reception station address and sends the result to an address comparison means 14, and a means 14 storing a reception frame into a frame storage means 15 compares the reception station address with the address stored in an address storage means 16 and sends a coincidnce signal to a transmission control means 17 when they are coincident. In receiving the coincidence signal, the means 17 stops the transmission of the transmission frame stored in the means 15 and sends the transmission frame to the transmission line 2 when no coincidence signal is given. The means 13 demultiplexes the transmission station address and stores the result into the means 16 via an address comaprison storage means 18.

In the method of communicating between transmission paths via repeaters, the repeaters do not have the function to control communication, so even when communication is performed within each transmission path, information on one transmission path is transmitted to the other transmission path. Introducing the decrease in transmission efficiency (if the number of information processing devices connected to each transmission path is small, there will not be such a large decrease in transmission efficiency, but as the number of information processing devices increases) As the number of transmission paths increases, the reduction in transmission efficiency becomes significant.

As shown in the address comparison and storage algorithm of FIG. 6, the address comparison and storage means 18 first reads the transmitting station address (step 6A) and compares it with the address stored in the address storage means 16 (
Step 6B) Check if there is a matching address (Step 6C)
If there is no match, the transmitting station address is stored in the address storage means 16 (step 6D). Therefore, if the address comparison storage means 18 is repeated every time a transmission frame is transmitted from the transmission path 1, , all the addresses of the information processing devices (FIG. 1 4 to 7) connected to the transmission path 1 are stored in the address storage means 16. Furthermore, as described above, if the transmission frame has a reception station address that matches the address stored in the address storage means 16, the transmission frame is not transmitted to the transmission path 2, so the communication device 3 according to the present invention Road 1

), the case where information is communicated from the zero-order transmission path 2 to the transmission path 1 will be described. A transmission frame transmitted from the information processing bag W (FIG. 1 8-11) connected to the transmission path 2 is transmitted to the second address separation means 19 via the transmission path access means 12. As shown in the second address separation algorithm in FIG. 7, the second address separation means 19 first separates the receiving station address from the transmission frame and transmits it to the address comparison means 14 (step 7a). 7b), the transmission frame is stored in the frame storage means 15, and the address comparison means 14 follows the address comparison algorithm shown in FIG.
The receiving station address is compared with the address stored in the address storage means 16, and if there is a matching address, a matching signal is transmitted to the second transmission control means 20. In the second transmission control means 20, as shown in the second transmission control algorithm of FIG. The transmission frame stored in the transmission frame 15 is transmitted to the transmission line 1 through the transmission line access means 12, and if no matching signal is input, the transmission of the transmission frame is stopped. On the other hand, the address storage means 1
6 stores the addresses of the information processing devices (4 to 7) connected to the transmission path 1 by the address comparison storage means 18, so that the receiving station address is the address of the information processing device connected to the transmission path 1. Only the transmission frames that match are transmitted to the transmission path 1.

As described above, the communication device 3 between transmission paths according to the present invention
has the function of transmitting only transmission frames intended for communication from transmission path 1 to transmission path 2 and from transmission path 2 to transmission path 1, and not transmitting transmission frames intended for communication within each of the transmission paths. In the case of the first transmission, since no address is stored in the address storage means 16, the data is transmitted from transmission path 1 to transmission path 2 and from transmission path 2 regardless of the receiving station address of the transmission frame. The transmission frame is transmitted to the transmission path 1, but if the transmission from the transmission path 1 is repeated, the address of the information processing device connected to the transmission path 1 is stored in the address storage means 16, so that the transmission frame is transmitted to the transmission path 1. The device now fully performs the aforementioned functions.
