Definitions

  • the input and output circuits of an electronic universal telegraph relay are coupled by an information transfer circuit including an oscillator and a rectifier operatively coupled to a transformer having a separate winding, the circuit of which is closed by an input control element for blocking said oscillator when the signal applied to said input circuit is of a predetermined polarity.
  • the voltage generated by said rectifier selectively controls the conduction state of an output control element, which in turn controls the switching ofsaid output circuit.
  • the present invention relates generally to electron relays constituted exclusively by static components, notably by semiconductors, and concerns more particularly such relays intended for use as universal telegraph relays.
  • the electron relays used up to the present instead of conventional electromechanical relays in telegraph, telephone or industrial switching systems are characterized, in comparison with said electronic relays, by a dual drawback consisting in that they do not ensure electrical isolation of the input and outputs circuits and they are particularly sensitive to input signal distortions.
  • the present invention is essentially directed to providing electron relays which are free from the aforesaid drawbacks, and, therefore, susceptible of being used as universal relays capable of fulfilling any required complex transmission and/or switching function.
  • An electron relay according to the invention intended in particular to be used as a universal telegraph relay, is remarkable notably in that it comprises an input circuit and an output circuit coupled by an information transfer circuit, electrically isolating them from one another, the said transfer circuit comprising at least one isolated voltage-generating unit, the operation of which, either authorized or forbidden by the polarity of the signal applied to the input circuit, directly or indirectly controls the switching of the output circuit.
  • the relay according to the invention is actually free from the aforesaid drawbacks, since the switching of the output circuit is not controlled by the input signal, but by a signal supplied by a generating unit incorporated in the relay and the operation of which is controlled by the input signal, the input and output circuits thus being effectively isolated from one another electrically. Further, the control of the operation of the said generating unit according to the polarity ofthe input signal eliminates the effect of disturbances or distortions susceptible of affecting the said input signal. Lastly, the restoring of the input signal by the said generating unit obviously offers the widest possibilities for, on the one hand, regenerating the correct signal shape and, on the other hand, amplifying the latter to any desired level.
  • the said voltage generating unit is constituted by a converter comprising an oscillator and a rectifier coupled to separate windings of one and a same transformer.
  • the said transfer circuit comprises at least one input control unit which blocks the said oscillator when the signal applied to the said input circuit is of a predetermined polarity.
  • the input and output circuits are electrically isolated from one another and, on the other hand, they offer the essential advantage of permitting positive and quick switching of the output circuit by means of an input signal of very low level, since the blocking of an oscillator occurs abruptly the moment its feedback-loop gain falls below I or as soon as the phase of the feedback signal is modified, this being obtained by providing minor modifica tions in its operating characteristics.
  • the said oscillator which is of the tuned type, comprises a feedback winding carried by the said transformer, the latter carrying a fourth winding capable of being short-circuited by the aforesaid control unit.
  • the blocking of the oscillator resulting from a reduction of the coupling coefficient of its tuned and feedback windings is ensured purely magnetically, the coupling transformer perfectly isolating electrically from one another the input and output circuits as well as the oscillator.
  • the aforesaid input control unit is advantageously constituted by a transistor, the conduction state of which depends on the polarity of the signal applied to the said input circuit.
  • Such an arrangement offers the advantage of permitting the blocking of the oscillator by short-circuiting the fourth winding of the aforesaid transformer by means of an input signal of very low level and by very simple means, the transistor used for this purpose being itself capable of discriminating between the polarities of the input signal.
  • the aforesaid transfer circuit comprises at least one output control unit associated with the said rectifier and ensuring the switching of the output circuit, the said output control unit being advantageously constituted by a transistor, the conduction state of which depends on the polarity or the amplitude of the voltage supplied by the said rectifier.
  • the transfer circuit of a relay comprises input and output control units which are identical to, but electrically isolated from one another, and this clearly denotes the functions of information transfer and electrical isolation fulfilled by the said transfer circuit, as well as the wide possibilities offered for signal amplification and regeneration.
  • the constitution of the transfer circuit and, in particular, the presence of a coupling transformer enable to combine at will any required number of input and output circuits of any desired kind so as to provide complex relays capable of fulfilling all required combinations of functions; in particular, several identical or different input circuits operating dependently or independently may be coupled to the transformer, to which may also be coupled several oscillators with different blocking thresholds; on the other hand, one and the same output unit may be controlled by voltages provided by different converters; lastly, the number and kind of output circuits may be selected at will.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the principle of insertion of a circuit ensuring information transfer and electrical isolation between the input and output circuits of a telegraph relay;
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram intended to recall the application of the above-mentioned principle to a conventional electromechanical relay
  • FIG. 3 is a partial diagram of a known type of electron relay wherein the said principle is applied;
  • FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are waveshapes illustrating the operation of the electron relay of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an electron relay according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating one form of embodiment of an electron relay according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a multiple function electron relay according to the invention.
  • the block diagram in FIG. 1 is a functional representation of the ideal constitution of a universal telegraph relay.
  • This relay comprises an input circuit E1, E2 supplied by a generating unit G with positive, zero or negative continuous controlcurrent, taking as a reference one of two wires maintained at telegraphic zero.
  • the circuit E is coupled by a unit T to the output circuit S, the terminals S1, S2 of which are connected by a telegraph line L to a customer load Z.
  • the output circuit S is symmetrical and fed by a twin battery B, so that one of the wires of the line L (for instance the one connected to the terminal S2) being at telegraphic zero and taken as a reference, the other wire can be made at will positive or negative at rest
  • the unit T simply transfers the information received from the input circuit E to the output circuit S, so that the said circuits are isolated with respect to one another and, consequently, between the input and output circuits there is only a polarity dependence; the input circuit E can thus be adapted to receive very-low level signals, whereas the output circuit fed by the battery B can supply signals of sufficiently high level to ensure good-quality transmission of the latter.
  • the properties of the telegraph relay thus constituted can be turned out to advantage for isolating the connecting lines of terminal apparatus, transposing the value of the supply voltages, amplifying and/or regenerating the signals, adapting additional apparatus to existing installations and combining several input and/or output circuits, etc.
  • the conventional electromechanical relay as shown in FIG. 2 has the above-mentioned various properties: as a matter of fact, the input and output circuits E and S thereof are respectively constituted by a control electromagnet connected to the input terminals El, E2 by a set of reversing contacts supplied by the battery B and connected to the output terminals S1, S2, the transfer unit T being constituted by a system of rods or any other mechanism connecting the electromagnet E with the reversing contacts S, the latter thus being connected mechanically, but isolated electrically.
  • This conventional electromechanical relay involves, however, several drawbacks related essentially to the signal level required to energize the electromagnet E and to the quality of the contact occuring in the reversing unit S, the latter being liable to corrosion and bouncing. Furthermore, the electromagnetic inertia of the input circuit and the mechanical inertia of the output circuit lead to excessive switching times.
  • FIG. 3 shows a static telegraph relay of this type, the input circuit E of which is constituted by a differentiation circuit which converts the rectangular-pulse signal applied to the terminals E1, E2 into alternate impulses applied to the primary winding of a transformer T; the impulses picked at the secondary winding are used for controlling the conduction state of a transistor incorporated in a detecting circuit D which in turn ensures the switching of the conduction state of the positive and negative chains of a symmetrical output circuit S supplied by a battery B.
  • the transformer T allows the information to be transferred from the input circuit E to the output circuit S, while at the same time electrically isolating the said circuits from one another and ensuring the independence of input-circuit and output-circuit polarities with respect to one another.
  • the operation of the static telegraph relay of FIG. 3 is illus trated by the waveforms of FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C showing the voltages applied to the terminal E1 of the input circuit E, to
  • a relay according to the invention comprises one or several units adapted to generate a voltage of appropriate amplitude and polarity, the said generating units being isolated from the input circuit, but controlled by the polarity of the signal applied to the latter, the said generators ensuring, directly or, if necessary, through amplifier stages, the control of the output circuit so as to produce a signal of appropriate polarity and level.
  • the static telegraph relay whose block diagram is shown in FIG, 4 comprises a converter constituted by an oscillator 0 supplied by a battery B and coupled through a transformer T to a detector D, the output voltage of which is applied to a circuit CS controlling the polarity of the signal provided by the output circuit 5; the operation of the converter and, therefore, the polarity of the output signal are controlled by the blocking of the oscillator 0 when a signal of predetermined polarity is applied to the input circuit E to which is associated for this purpose a control circuit CE coupled to the transformer T.
  • the relay thus constituted has the various properties required from a telegraph relay while at the same time being free from the above-mentioned inconveniences of prior-art static telegraph relays.
  • the transformer T ensures perfect electrical isolation of these input and output circuits; the polarity of the output signal is directly dependent on that of the input signal, even if the latter is notably disturbed, and the polarity reversals ensured by the blocking or unblocking of the oscillator 0 are extremely positive and quick; since the blocking of the oscillator 0 requires only very low power, the level of the input signal is not critical and the relay is therefore capable of ensuring correct reception of strongly attenuated signals; the level of the output signal is independent of that of the input signal and may be selected at will, since it depends only on the characteristics of the output chain which is electrically independent of the input chain.
  • the relay according to the invention is particularly suitable for the adjunction of additional inputs and/or outputs enabling it to
  • FIG. 5 An actual example of embodiment of a static telegraph relay according to the invention is shown in the diagram of FIG. 5.
  • the constitution of this relay corresponds to the block diagram of FIG. 4 and comprises essentially an input circuit E and an associated control circuit CE coupled to the transformer T of the converter constituted by the oscillator 0 and the detector D; the latter supplies the output control circuits CS which in turn control the operation of one or the other of the positive and negative output chains S(+) and S(-) connected respectively to the positive and negative terminals of the telegraph battery B.
  • the input circuit E comprises a simple resistor R1 connected between the input terminals El and E2 and bypassed by a filter capacitor C1.
  • the input control circuit CE comprises a switching transistor Q1, the emitter-base junction of which is polarized by the voltage across the resistor R1, the emitter and the collector of the said switching transistor being directly interconnected by a winding N1 ofthe transformer T.
  • the oscillator O is essentially constituted by an NPN-type transistor Q2 whose emitter is connected through a resistor R2 to the negative terminal of the telegraph battery B and whose collector is connected to the middle point of the said battery through a buffer resistor and a resonant circuit constituted by g a capacitor C2 and one winding of the transformer T.
  • the base of the transistor Q2 is provided with DC'polarization by means of a resistor R'2 and with AC-polarization by means of a feedback winding NZ.
  • the detector D is simply constituted by a diode bridge circuit Dl-Dd supplied by a winding N3 of the transformer T; the positive terminal of the rectifier bridge circuit Dl-Dd is connected to the positive terminal of the telegraph battery, the rectified voltage being applied through a protective resistor to the emitter-base junction of a transistor Q3 shunted by a filter capacitor C3.
  • the transistor Q3 constitutes the driver stage of an output control circuit CS comprising also two transistors Q4, Q controlling respectively the operation of the positive and negative chains S(+) and S() of the relay output circuit.
  • the emitters of the transistors Q4 and Q5, of the NPN' and PNP-type respectively, are connected to the middle point of the telegraph battery, the emitter-base junctions of the said transistors being mounted across the terminals of a polarization resistor R3 connected on the one hand to the positive terminal B(+) of the battery through a resistor R4 and the emitter-collector junction of the transistor Q3 and, on the other hand, to the negative terminal B() of the battery through a resistor R5, the ohmic valve of which is considerably above that of the resistance R4.
  • the collectors of the transistors Q4 and Q5 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the telegraph battery through respective voltage dividers Rfi-Rfi and R7-R7 providing respectively the control voltages of the positive and negative branches S(+) relay S() of the relay output circuit.
  • the latter is symmetrical, the output terminal S1 being connected to the positive, B(+), and negative, B(-), terminals of the telegraph battery through identical branches with opposed conducting directions, the positive branch being essentially constituted by the emitter-collector junction of a PNP-type transistor Q6, the base of which is polarized by the voltage across the resistor R6, while the nega tive branch is constituted by the emitter-collector junction of a NPN-type transistor Q7, the base of which is polarized by the voltage across the resistor R7.
  • the transistors Q6 and 07 are protected against any overload resulting, for instance, from a line short circuit.
  • These means are constituted essentially by a protective resistor R8, R9 shunted by the emittercollector junction of a transistor Q8, Q9, the base of which is polarized by the voltage across a resistor R10, R11 constitut ing the collector load of a transistor O10, O11 fulfilling the function of an overload detector, the base of the said transistor being for this purpose polarized by the voltage across the terminals of a preferably nonlinear impedance element X10, X11 connected in series in the emitter circuit of the transistor Q6, O7 to be protected; the impedance elements X10, X11 are advantageously decoupled by a capacitor C10, C11 serving to prevent the protection means from becoming operative in case of an instantaneous overload or an overload too brief to be capable ofdamaging the protected transistorv
  • the static telegraph relay which has just been described operates as follows.
  • the telegraphic signal to be processed after being modulated by polarity reversal, is applied to the terminals E1, E2 of the input circuit, any one of the said terminals being maintained at the reference potential.
  • the transistor 01 of the input control circuit CE is either blocked or conducting, so that the circuit including the winding N1 of the transformer T is respectively either open or closed; this switching, taking into account the gain of the transistor 01, requires only very low power, so that signals of very low level can be received correctly.
  • the coupling coefficient of the windings N2, N2 is sufficient to enable the oscillator O to operate; as a result, an alternating voltage is induced in the winding N3 of the detector D, so that the diode bridge circuit D1-D4l polarizes negatively the base of the transistor Q3 and the latter becomes conducting.
  • the coupling coefficient of the windings N2, N2 becomes insufficient to enable the oscillator O to operate and, therefore, the detector D supplied low polarization voltage to the transistor Q3, and the latter is blocked.
  • the resistor R3 When the transistor Q3 is nonconducting, the resistor R3 is traversed by a current i() flowing back to the negative terminal B(-) of the telegraph battery through the resistor R5, so that the emitter-base junction of the transistors Qd, OS are polarized negatively; conversely, when the transistor 03 is conducting, the emitter base junction of the transistors Q41 and Q5 are polarized positively, the resistor R3 being traversed by a current equal to the sum of the said current i(-) and a current i(+) flowing from the positive terminal B(+) of the battery through the emitter-collector junction of the transistor Q3 and the resistor R41, the ohmic valve of which is less than that of the resistor R5, so that the intensity of the current i(+) exceeds that of the current i(-).
  • the transistors 04 and OS are of opposed types, one or the other becomes conducting according to the direction of the voltage drop across the resistor R3, that is according to the conduction state of the transistor Q3 which, in turn, depends on the state of the oscillator O and, therefore, on the polarity of the signal applied to the input terminals E1, E2 of the relay.
  • the line connected to the terminal S1 of the output circuit is supplied either by the positive branch S(+) or by the negative branch S() of the said output circuit.
  • the transistor-interrupter Q6 controlling the positive branch S(+) is made conducting by the voltage drop across the resistor R6, whereas the transistor Q7 of the negative branch S(-) is blocked, no polarization voltage being supplied to it by the resistor R7 mounted in the collector circuit of the transistor Q5 which is blocked.
  • the transistor 05 is conducting, the output terminal S1 is supplied by the negative branch S().
  • any abnormal increase in current resulting for instance from a line short circuit, automatically causes the protective resistor R8, R9 to be connected in series with the branch concerned; as a matter of fact, when the voltage drop across the detecting impedance element X10, X11 is sufficient to render conducting the associated detecting transistor Q10, Q11, the collector current of the latter produces across the resistor R10, R11 an additional voltage drop sufficient to block the transistor Q8, Q9 which up to that moment was shunting the resistor R8, R9.
  • the intensity of the line current is thus brought to a value compatible with the possibilities of heat dissipation of the transistor Q6, Q7, and unless short circuits occur on the line, the transmission of information is assured, if only the user device is sensitive enough.
  • the form of embodiment of a relay according to the invention as just described is not to be construed as being limitativc and is susceptible of many modifications.
  • the detector D may supply, during the operation of the oscillator 0, either a positive voltage instead of a negative voltage or a negative voltage as well as a positive voltage.
  • the oscillator described may be replaced by any other type of oscillator provided with feedback and having appropriate characteristics; the said oscillator may also be associated with several detecting circuits in order to facilitate or particularize the control of the relay stages placed downstream.
  • the constitution of the output circuit and the manner ofdriving the same may be modified.

  • the combination of the two control chains enables to obtain at will a positive or negative quiescent state at the output when the main input circuit E is not fed.
  • Such a relay may be used for instance in a teleprinter so as to combine the functions of reception, transmission, typing and printing.
  • a larger number of control chains may be combined, the number of feasible combinations being practically limited only by considerations of cost, dimensions and power consumption.
