Further, the module unit 201 includes a micro control unit 2011 and a one-way conducting element 2012 . The module unit 201 is designed with a broadcast channel entry port and a broadcast channel exit port, and the input port of the unidirectional conductive element 2012 is electrically connected to the broadcast channel entry port of the module unit 201 and the bypass input port of the micro control unit 2011, and the unidirectional The output end of the conduction element 2012 is electrically connected to the broadcast channel outlet end of the module unit 201 and the bypass output end of the micro control unit 2011 .

In addition, the structure of the module units 202, 203, 221, 222, 223 is the same as that of the module unit 201, and the functions of the micro control units 2021, 2031, 2211, 2221, 2231 are the same as those of the micro control unit 2011, and the one-way conduction The functions of the elements 2022, 2032, 2212, 2222, and 2232 are the same as those of the one-way conduction element 2012, so the following mainly uses the micro control unit 2011 and the unidirectional conduction element 2012 are taken as examples, and others can be deduced in the same way. Furthermore, in the embodiment of this creation, the one-way conduction elements 2012, 2022, 2032, 2212, 2222, and 2232 can be diodes, but this creation is not limited to this, and other types of elements with one-way conduction function It can also be used to implement unidirectional conduction elements 2012 , 2022 , 2032 , 2212 , 2222 , 2232 .

The broadcast channel entrance port of the module unit 201 is electrically connected to the broadcast channel exit port of the module unit 201 and the broadcast channel exit port of the module unit 202 and the module unit 203 respectively. The entry port of the broadcast channel to form a broadcast channel.

If the one-way conduction element 2032 can be turned on, the micro control unit 2021 uses the bypass output terminal to transmit the control command to the module unit 202 at the egress port of the broadcast channel, so that the control command is continuously broadcasted (that is, transmitted through the broadcast channel again).

Please refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the module system of the present invention broadcasting control commands. In this embodiment, the broadcast channels between the module units 201, 202, and 203 are not disconnected. Therefore, the broadcast control commands are transmitted through the broadcast channels, and the MCUs 2011, 2021, and 2031 obtain them through the bypass input terminals. The control command of the broadcast channel is executed accordingly, that is, the broadcast control command is transmitted through the signal path PATH_1.

In this embodiment, the broadcast channel between the module units 221 and 222 is not disconnected, but both the module units 222 and 223 have a circuit breaker BRK, therefore, the micro control unit 2221 of the module unit 222 receives through the bypass input terminal control command, and the control command will be transmitted by the standard channel between the micro control unit 2221 of the module unit 222 and the micro control unit 2231 of the module unit 223, so that the micro control unit 2231 of the module unit 223 is controlled instruction. The broadcast channel behind the module unit 223 is not disconnected, therefore, the micro control unit 2231 of the module unit 223 bypasses the output and transmits the control command to the broadcast channel again, and broadcasts the control command through the broadcast channel. That is, the group of module units 221 , 222 , and 223 transmits broadcast control commands through the signal path PATH_2 .

Simply put, in the same group, if the i-th modular unit cannot transmit the control command to the i-th modular unit through the broadcast channel between the i-th modular unit and the i-1th modular unit , then the i-1th modular unit uses the standard channel between the i-1th modular unit and the i-th modular unit to transmit control commands, where i is an integer greater than or equal to 2; and, at k modules In the case of receiving broadcasted control commands through standard channels in the unit, if the kth modular unit can transmit the control command to the kth modular unit through the broadcast channel between the kth modular unit and the k+1th modular unit +1 modular unit, then the kth modular unit uses the broadcast channel between the kth modular unit and the k+1th modular unit to transmit the control command, where k is an integer greater than or equal to 1. In a special case, the module controller and the first module unit corresponding to the group cannot transmit control commands through the broadcast channel, then the module controller uses the module controller and the first module unit corresponding to the group Standard channels between group units to transfer control commands.

Please refer to FIG. 4 . FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the broadcasting method executed by the module system of the present invention. First, in step S401 , the group controller obtains a control instruction, and the control instruction may be a control instruction to be transmitted by broadcast, or may be a control instruction not to be transmitted by broadcast. Next, in step S402, the group controller item database obtains the verification information, so as to verify whether the control command is a safe control command through the verification information, and if the verification is passed, step S403 is executed; otherwise, the transmission of the control command is discarded, And return to step S401 to make the group controller obtain another control command.

In step S403, the group controller transmits the control instruction to the module controllers of each group. In step S404, the group controller determines whether the control command is a broadcast control command, and if not, executes step S410. In step S410, only the modular controller of the modular unit corresponding to the destination of the control command will use the standard channel to transmit the control command. The control command is transmitted through the standard channel, the first module unit is transmitted to the second module unit, the second module unit is transmitted to the third module unit, ..., and the x-1th module unit Transfer to the xth module unit, where the xth module unit is the module unit corresponding to the destination of the control command. Therefore, in step S411, the micro control unit will communicate with the module controller, so that the module controller can judge whether the control command has been completed. After being transmitted to the module unit corresponding to the destination of the control command, if there is no module unit corresponding to the destination of the control command, then continue to execute step S410; Another control command.

In step S405, the module controller tries to transmit the command through the broadcast channel. Next, in step S406, the module controller communicates with the micro control unit to determine whether there is a disconnected broadcast channel. The broadcast channel transmits the control command to each module unit in the group, and then returns to step S401, so that the group controller obtains another control command.

If there is a need to transfer across modules, it means that the broadcast channel between two adjacent module units is disconnected. At this time, in step S407, between the two adjacent module units where the broadcast channel is disconnected The standard channel transfers control commands. Then, in step S408, it is judged whether the control instruction has been transmitted to each module unit in the group, if not, then execute step S409, if yes, then return to step S401, so that the group controller obtains another Control instruction. In step S409, it is judged whether the next broadcast channel after a plurality of adjacent module units in which the broadcast channel is disconnected is unblocked, if the next broadcast channel is unobstructed and there is no disconnection, then the control instruction is changed to the next broadcast channel for transmission, otherwise, then Back to step S408, continue to use the standard channel to transmit the control instruction.

Based on the above, the module system and its module units provided by this creation can support broadcasting, transmit control commands at a faster transmission speed, and the transmission path can be flexibly changed due to the situation, so even if the broadcast channel has a condition, it will still It can effectively and quickly transmit control instructions to each module unit. Furthermore, the above-mentioned modular system can be a blessing lamp system or a processing system, therefore, this creation can be widely used in various fields and has great economic value.
