After detecting a long time of no light source (or a certain lower intensity light), the transmission device 20 starts to open its own communication light source 211 intermittently according to the pulsed data. Accordingly, the corresponding optical signal is transmitted to the master data transmission device 10 via the same optical fiber connection OL1, and the light splitting device 112 (such as a semi-reflective lens) of the optical fiber transceiver circuit 11 in the master data transmission device 10 refracts light to the light sensing.

The control signal CS1 of the potential L (or a potential representing a low level) represents the start signal bit, and the communication light source 111 outputs a low-intensity optical signal (or, for example, extinguishes the photodiode). The slave data transmission device 20 detects whether or not to start receiving data by detecting the low-intensity optical signal (or, for example, a no-light state). When the master data transmission device 10 completes the data transmission of each pen, it outputs a high-potential (H, that is, the light-emitting diode) control signal CS1 to indicate the stop signal bit, so that the optical transmission and reception of the master data transmission device 10 The circuit 11 will provide a first optical signal to the fiber optic link OL1 to take power from the slave data transfer device 20 to charge its interior. If the master data transmission device 10 needs to obtain the response data from the slave data transmission device 20, the fiber transceiver circuit 11 of the master data transmission device 10 turns off its communication light source 111, so that the master data transmission device 10 can receive the fiber.

Step S120 determines whether data transfer is started. If so, step S130 represents outputting a start signal, for example, outputting a low potential, and correspondingly causing the communication light source 111 to stop emitting light. Step S140 represents transmitting data. Step S150 determines whether the data transfer is completed.

Step S310 indicates that the low potential signal is output, for example, the communication light source 211 is stopped to emit light correspondingly. Step S320 determines whether data reception is started. If so, step S330 represents receiving data. Step S335 determines whether the data reception is completed. If so, step S340 determines if data needs to be returned. If so, step S350 indicates that the fiber is to be idle. If the optical fiber connection OL1 is in an idle state, step S360 is executed to output a high potential signal, for example, to cause the communication light source 211 to emit light. Step S370 represents outputting a start signal, for example, outputting a low potential, and correspondingly causing the communication light source 211 to stop emitting light. Step S380 represents transmitting data. Step S390 determines whether the data transfer is completed. If so, step S400 indicates that the stop signal is output, for example, a high potential is output, and the communication light source 211 is accordingly stopped to emit light. In the above step S350, "waiting for the optical fiber connection idle" is to determine whether the optical fiber connection OL1 is in the state of positive light transmission (that is, whether the optical fiber connection OL1 is busy).

With the embodiment of the communication protocol, the master data transmission device 10 and the slave data transmission device 20 can realize data communication in an address manner, that is, the network system can be implemented. For example, in an embodiment, the master data transmission device 10 can be implemented as a fiber-optic connection with two or more slave data transmission devices 20, respectively. Under this embodiment, the respective addresses of the two or more slave data transmission devices 20 can be assigned. For example, the slave data transmission devices 20 in the upper right and lower right of FIG. 1 respectively have a 7-bit address: 1010001, 1010010, 1010 can be regarded as a fixed pattern in the header and P2-P0 represents a settable bit.

Switching is required, for example, by a communication protocol, and a header signal is used to inform or request the other party. In one example, the power transfer state (or mode) can be switched to a data transfer state and a data return state, and vice versa. For example, the first optical fiber transceiver circuit 11 changes the first optical signal to notify one of the start signals for data transmission, thereby causing the second optical fiber transceiver circuit 21 to enter the data transmission state. For example, the second optical fiber transceiver circuit 21 sends out a start signal for informing the data return, so that the first optical fiber transceiver circuit 11 enters the data transmission state.

In the foregoing embodiments, an optical/electrical conversion element is used, which includes light to electricity and electricity to light conversion. The former can use various types of solar cells, and the latter can use a light emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode. (laser diode) to achieve. Since the light energy that can be transmitted through the optical fiber is rather small, it is necessary to use a component with high conversion efficiency in the conversion of light to electricity in practice. For example, available solar cells are germanium-based solar cells: single crystal germanium, polycrystalline germanium, amorphous germanium solar cells; and gallium arsenide solar cells can be used to provide high conversion efficiency, which is characterized by absorption. The energy of the full spectrum of sunlight has exceeded 40% in concentrated light.

Figure 11 is an embodiment of another configuration of the slave data transmission device. The slave data transmission device 40 illustrated in FIG. 11 is a control circuit 22 of the slave data transmission device 20 of FIG. 3 electrically coupled to the sensing unit 41 and the display 42. The transmission interface 25 can be added or deleted or used as needed. The interface of the sensing unit 41 or the display 42. Furthermore, FIG. 11 can also be considered as an embodiment of the sensing node 2 of FIG.

In the following, the embodiment of Fig. 11 will be described as an example.

After charging the circuit, a 1.2V nickel-hydrogen battery can be supplied with a continuous charging current of about 1 mA. The communication light source 211 of the optical fiber transceiver circuit 21, that is, the electrical-to-optical conversion element, uses a red laser having a wavelength of 660 nm and a power of 10 mW, and is transmitted via a 3 mm optical fiber. Also use a fiber length of 1 meter.

The master data transmission device 10 in the server 1 is implemented by Xin Century Electronic Technology's DM430-M microprocessor development board, which can operate in an ultra-low power mode (voltage is 5V, current is 13mA). The development board includes Texas Instruments' low-power microprocessor MSP430F149, which is a 16-bit RISC-based FLASH single-chip, with an address range of up to 64K. There are six 8-bit general-purpose outputs in the chip. A USART communication interface, a comparator, a DCO internal oscillator and two external clocks. The board works at 8MHz and can be downloaded via USB or communicated with the outside via USB.

The sensing unit 41 and the display 42 included in the sensing node 2 based on the structure of FIG. 11 are implemented by using a temperature and humidity sensor and an electronic paper display, respectively, and are also controlled as a control circuit via the MSP430F149 microprocessor. The measurement of the temperature and humidity sensor is performed after receiving the instruction of the server 1, and the data is returned via the optical fiber, and then the server 1 displays the content to be displayed to the sensing node 2 via the same optical fiber. The temperature and humidity sensor is, for example, a DHT11 from Ozon Electronics, which is a temperature and humidity composite sensor with a corrected digital signal output. The temperature and humidity sensor consists of a resistive sensing element and an NTC temperature measuring element, and is connected to a high-performance 8-bit single-chip, data communication via a single-line serial interface, making system integration easy. This sensor has extremely low power consumption. It consumes 0.5mA in 3V power supply measurement and 0.1mA in standby mode. It can measure once every second. The temperature measurement range is 0~50°C, and the humidity measurement range is 20~90% RH. The electronic paper display of the display 42 uses Seed Technology's E-ink Display Shield SLD01093P, which is an electronic ink display panel with a resolution of 172 x 72 dot matrix and 4 colors of gray scale, which has very low power consumption and does not It needs to be backlit, and it only needs to be used when updating the display content. Therefore, it can keep the last displayed page even if the power is turned off. The control and information display uses the SPI interface to facilitate connection with the microprocessor. In this implementation example, the MSP430F149 microprocessor in the sensing node 2 is normally in a standby state, and consumes only a few microamperes (μA) at a supply voltage of 3.2V, and the sensing module receives only the sensing servo. After the trigger signal of the device enters the working state, the data measurement, transmission and display processes take several milliseconds (mS), and then return to the standby state, so the average energy consumption of the sensing module is extremely small.
