Description

アドレス設定装置及びアドレス設定方法Address setting device and address setting method
　本発明は、アドレス設定装置に関し、特に、ネットワークに接続される複数の通信端末の各々に対して、固有のアドレスを設定するアドレス設定装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an address setting device, and more particularly to an address setting device that sets a unique address for each of a plurality of communication terminals connected to a network.
　従来、ネットワークに接続される複数の通信端末の各々に対して固有にアドレスを設定するために、ディップスイッチが用いられていることが多い（特許文献１）。あるいは、ディップスイッチに代えて、ロータリースイッチを用いて、複数の通信端末の各々に対して固有にアドレスを設定することもある（特許文献２）。 Conventionally, a dip switch is often used to set an address uniquely for each of a plurality of communication terminals connected to a network (Patent Document 1). Alternatively, instead of the dip switch, a rotary switch may be used to uniquely set an address for each of a plurality of communication terminals (Patent Document 2).

　しかし、ロータリースイッチは、アドレス設定の操作が容易であるが、高価であるという問題がある。一方、ディップスイッチは、安価であるが、アドレス設定時の操作が煩雑であるという問題がある。 However, the rotary switch is easy to operate for address setting but has a problem that it is expensive. On the other hand, the DIP switch is inexpensive, but has a problem that the operation at the time of address setting is complicated.
　また、いずれのスイッチも、アドレス設定時の操作の誤りにより、重複したアドレス設定の可能性が否定できない。そして、実際に、重複したアドレス設定をしてしまうと、重複しているかアドレスがいずれであるかを特定することが困難であった。 In addition, the possibility of duplicate address setting cannot be denied due to an error in the operation of any switch. In practice, if duplicate addresses are set, it is difficult to specify which address is duplicated or which address.
　そこで、本発明は、アドレス設定の操作が容易で、安価であって、重複したアドレス設定の可能性が皆無なアドレス設定装置を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an address setting device that is easy to operate for address setting, is inexpensive, and has no possibility of duplicate address setting.

Address setting cards 34 to 3n.
　図２は、端末装置２４の一部とアドレス設定用カード３４との関係を示す図である。図２に示すように、端末装置２４は、アドレス設定用カード３４が挿し込まれるスロット４０と、スロット４０内に設けられていて端末装置２４の通信制御を司るＩＣのアドレス設定端子（図示せず）と電気的に接続されている例えば４つのアドレス設定接点４２ａ～４２ｄと、アドレス設定接点４２ａ～４２ｄに隣接して設けられているグランドなどの基準電位用接点４２ｅと、各接点４２ａ～４２ｅとアドレス設定用カード３４の端子５２ａ～５２ｅとの位置ずれを防止するガイド部４４とを備える。なお、スロット４０と各接点４２ａ～４２ｅとガイド部４４とを含む部分を、アドレス設定装置本体とも称する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a relationship between a part of the terminal device 24 and the address setting card 34. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 24 includes a slot 40 into which the address setting card 34 is inserted, and an address setting terminal (not shown) of the IC that is provided in the slot 40 and controls communication of the terminal device 24. For example, four address setting contacts 42a to 42d, a reference potential contact 42e such as a ground provided adjacent to the address setting contacts 42a to 42d, and the respective contacts 42a to 42e. And a guide portion 44 for preventing displacement of the address setting card 34 from the terminals 52a to 52e. A portion including the slot 40, the contacts 42a to 42e, and the guide portion 44 is also referred to as an address setting device main body.
　一方、アドレス設定用カード３４は、アドレス設定接点４２ａ～４２ｄ及び基準電位用接点４２ｅに各々電気的接続される端子５２ａ～５２ｅと、端子５２ｅと端子５２ａ～５２ｄのいくつかとを相互にするための配線部５４とを備えている。なお、アドレス設定用カード３４の筐体には、他のアドレス設定用カード３５～３ｎとの目視によって容易に区別ができるようにアドレス等の固有の番号（図示せず）が付されている。 On the other hand, the address setting card 34 has terminals 52a to 52e electrically connected to the address setting contacts 42a to 42d and the reference potential contact 42e, respectively, and a terminal 52e and some of the terminals 52a to 52d. And a wiring portion 54.

　図３（ｃ）に示す配線部５４は、端子５２ｅから端子５２ａ～５２ｄの近傍まで延びていて、端子５２ｂにのみ接続されている。 The wiring section 54 shown in FIG. 3C extends from the terminal 52e to the vicinity of the terminals 52a to 52d and is connected only to the terminal 52b.
　図３（ｄ）に示す配線部５４は、端子５２ｅから端子５２ａ～５２ｄの近傍まで延びていて、端子５２ａ，５２ｂに接続されている。 The wiring part 54 shown in FIG. 3D extends from the terminal 52e to the vicinity of the terminals 52a to 52d and is connected to the terminals 52a and 52b.
　このように配線部５４を形成することによって、端末装置２４～２７に対して、固有のアドレス設定を行うことができ、しかも、アドレス設定用カード３４～３ｎの各配線部５４は相互に固有のパターンとしているので、端末装置２４～２７に重複したアドレスが設定される可能性は皆無となる。 By forming the wiring portion 54 in this way, a unique address can be set for the terminal devices 24 to 27, and the wiring portions 54 of the address setting cards 34 to 3n are unique to each other. Since the pattern is used, there is no possibility that duplicate addresses are set in the terminal devices 24 to 27.
　端末装置２４～２ｎのスロット４０に、アドレス設定用カード３４～３ｎを一意に挿し込めば、通信端末２４～２ｎの各々に固有のアドレスを設定することができる。 By uniquely inserting the address setting cards 34 to 3n into the slots 40 of the terminal devices 24 to 2n, it is possible to set unique addresses to the communication terminals 24 to 2n.
　（実施形態２）
　図４（ａ）～図４（ｄ）は、本発明の実施形態２に係るアドレス設定用カード３４～３ｎの配線部５４の構成例を示す図である。図４（ａ）～図４（ｄ）は、図３（ａ）～図３（ｄ）に対応する。 (Embodiment 2)
4 (a) to 4 (d) are diagrams showing a configuration example of the wiring section 54 of the address setting cards 34 to 3n according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 4 (a) to 4 (d) correspond to FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d).
　図３（ａ）～図３（ｄ）に示した例の場合には、端子５２ａ～５２ｅのすべてを設け、端子５２ａ～５２ｄと端子５２ｅとを選択的に配線部５４によって電気的接続をしていた。これに対して、図４（ａ）～図４（ｄ）に示す例の場合には、当該電気的接続に係る端子のみを形成している。 In the example shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, all of the terminals 52a to 52e are provided, and the terminals 52a to 52d and the terminal 52e are selectively electrically connected by the wiring portion 54. It was. In contrast, in the example shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D, only the terminals related to the electrical connection are formed.
　すなわち、
　図４（ａ）の場合には、端子５２ａ～５２ｅのいずれも形成しない。 That is,
In the case of FIG. 4A, none of the terminals 52a to 52e is formed.
　図４（ｂ）の場合には、端子５２ａ及び端子５２ｅは形成するが、端子５２ｂ～５２ｄは形成しない。 In the case of FIG. 4B, the terminals 52a and 52e are formed, but the terminals 52b to 52d are not formed.
　図４（ｃ）の場合には、端子５２ｂ及び端子５２ｅは形成するが、端子５２ａ，５２ｃ，５２ｄは形成しない。 In the case of FIG. 4C, the terminal 52b and the terminal 52e are formed, but the terminals 52a, 52c, and 52d are not formed.
　図４（ｄ）の場合には、端子５２ａ，５２ｂ及び端子５２ｅは形成するが、端子５２ｃ，５２ｄは形成しない。 In the case of FIG. 4D, the terminals 52a and 52b and the terminal 52e are formed, but the terminals 52c and 52d are not formed.
　このようにアドレス設定用カード３４等を構成した場合であっても、実施形態１と同様に、端末装置２４～２ｎのスロット４０に、アドレス設定用カード３４～３ｎを一意に挿し込めば、通信端末２４～２ｎの各々に固有のアドレスを設定することができる。 Even when the address setting card 34 or the like is configured as described above, if the address setting cards 34 to 3n are uniquely inserted into the slots 40 of the terminal devices 24 to 2n as in the first embodiment, communication is possible. A unique address can be set for each of the terminals 24 to 2n.
　（実施形態３）
　図５（ａ）～図５（ｃ）は、本発明の実施形態３に係るアドレス設定装置本体及びアドレス設定用カードの模式的な構成図である。実施形態１，２では、端子５２ａ～５２ｅと各接点４２ａ～４２ｅとを選択的に電気的接触させる場合を説明した。本実施形態では、これらを選択的に物理的接触させる。 (Embodiment 3)
FIGS. 5A to 5C are schematic configuration diagrams of the address setting device main body and the address setting card according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the first and second embodiments, the case where the terminals 52a to 52e and the contacts 42a to 42e are selectively brought into electrical contact has been described. In this embodiment, these are selectively brought into physical contact.
　図５（ａ）の場合には、アドレス設定用カード３４に対して、接点４２ａ～４２ｅに代えて、選択的にユニークなパターンの溝部５４を形成している。一方、スロット４０に対して、接点４２ａ～４２ｅに代えて、溝部５４によりオン／オフが切り替わるスイッチ端子４２を設けている。 In the case of FIG. 5A, a groove portion 54 having a unique pattern is selectively formed on the address setting card 34 instead of the contacts 42a to 42e. On the other hand, in place of the contacts 42a to 42e, a switch terminal 42 that is turned on / off by a groove 54 is provided for the slot 40.
　本実施形態の場合には、溝部５４は、４か所のいずれかに選択的に切り欠きが設けられている。一方、スロットには、当該４か所に対応する位置にスイッチ端子４２が設けられている。 In the case of the present embodiment, the groove portion 54 is selectively provided with a notch at any one of four locations. On the other hand, switch terminals 42 are provided at positions corresponding to the four locations in the slot.
　ここで、実施形態１，２の場合には、基準電位用接点４２ｅとの電気的接続を通じて、接点４２ａ～４２ｄを基準電位に設定していたが、本実施形態の場合には、オン／オフによってアドレスビットの正負論理を切り替えられるので、同じビット数のアドレスを実現する場合には、基準電位用接点４２ｅに相当する溝部５４の切り欠き及びスイッチ端子４２が不要となる点に留意されたい。 Here, in the first and second embodiments, the contacts 42a to 42d are set to the reference potential through electrical connection with the reference potential contact 42e. However, in the present embodiment, the contacts are turned on / off. It should be noted that the notch of the groove 54 corresponding to the reference potential contact 42e and the switch terminal 42 are not necessary when the address of the same number of bits is realized.
　換言すると、相対的に多数の端末装置を備える通信システムの場合には、アドレス設定用カード３４の接点４２ａ等又は切り欠きの形成スペースを考慮すると、本実施形態の方が、アドレスビット数を稼げるため好ましいといえる。 In other words, in the case of a communication system having a relatively large number of terminal devices, the number of address bits can be increased in the present embodiment in consideration of the contact point 42a of the address setting card 34 or the space for forming notches. Therefore, it can be said that it is preferable.
　なお、溝部５４及びスイッチ端子４２の位置は、図６（ａ）に示す場合に限定されず、図５（ｂ）に示すように、スロット４０の側面にスイッチ端子４２を設け、これに対応する位置に溝部５４を設けてもよい。 Note that the positions of the groove 54 and the switch terminal 42 are not limited to the case shown in FIG. 6A, and the switch terminal 42 is provided on the side surface of the slot 40 as shown in FIG. You may provide the groove part 54 in a position.
　さらに、より多数の端末装置を備える通信システムの場合には、図５（ｃ）に示すように、アドレス設定用カード３４の表面及び裏面に溝部５４を形成し、かつ、スロット４０の表面及び裏面にスイッチ端子４２を形成すればよい。 Further, in the case of a communication system including a larger number of terminal devices, as shown in FIG. 5C, grooves 54 are formed on the front and back surfaces of the address setting card 34, and the front and back surfaces of the slot 40 are formed. The switch terminal 42 may be formed in
　（実施例１）
　図６は、本発明の実施例１のアドレス設定用カードの模式的な外観図である。本実施例のアドレス設定用カード３４等は、カード本体に対して取手部分６０を備えている。取手部分６０のサイズは、縦の長さ５ｍｍ～１０ｍｍ（例えば７ｍｍ）、横の長さ１５ｍｍ～３０ｍｍ（例えば２０ｍｍ）、奥行き５ｍｍ～１０ｍｍ（例えば７ｍｍ）程度とすればよい。取手部分６０には、既述の固有の番号を付してもよく、ここでは、当該番号としてアドレス「０００１」を付記している。なお、当該番号は、取手部分６０の上面ではなく、側面或いは裏面に付記するようにしてもよい。 Example 1
FIG. 6 is a schematic external view of the address setting card according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The address setting card 34 and the like of this embodiment includes a handle portion 60 with respect to the card body. The size of the handle portion 60 may be about 5 mm to 10 mm (eg, 7 mm) in the vertical length, 15 mm to 30 mm (eg, 20 mm) in the horizontal length, and 5 mm to 10 mm (eg, 7 mm) in the depth. The handle portion 60 may be given the unique number described above, and here, an address “0001” is added as the number. Note that the number may be added to the side surface or the back surface of the handle portion 60 instead of the top surface.
　一方、カード本体のサイズは、厚さは１．０ｍｍ～２．０ｍｍ（例えば１．５ｍｍ）、幅１０ｍｍ～２５ｍｍ（例えば１５ｍｍ）、長さ１０ｍｍ～２０ｍｍ（例えば１５ｍｍ）とすることができる。 On the other hand, the size of the card body can be 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm (for example, 1.5 mm), 10 mm to 25 mm (for example, 15 mm) in width, and 10 mm to 20 mm (for example, 15 mm) in length.
　このようなサイズのアドレス設定用カードとすると、スロット４０に対して挿抜する際に取手部分６０を把持すればよいので、その操作性が向上する。 In the case of an address setting card having such a size, the handle portion 60 only has to be gripped when being inserted into and removed from the slot 40, so that the operability is improved.
　また、取手部分６０に固有の番号を付せば、アドレス設定用カードをスロット４０に差し込んだ場合でも、取手部分６０はスロット４０の外に位置することになるので、カード本体部分に番号を付すよりも、当該番号の視認性が向上する。 Further, if a unique number is assigned to the handle portion 60, the handle portion 60 is located outside the slot 40 even when the address setting card is inserted into the slot 40. Therefore, the card body portion is numbered. As a result, the visibility of the number is improved.
　（実施例２）
　つぎに、本発明の実施例２のアドレス設定用カードについて説明する。実施例１のアドレス設定用カードは、取手部分６０を備えているために、既述のようなメリットがあるが、場合によっては、アドレス設定用カードの厚みが増加することによるデメリットも考えられ得る。 (Example 2)
Next, an address setting card according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The address setting card according to the first embodiment is provided with the handle portion 60 and thus has the advantages as described above. However, depending on the case, there may be a demerit due to an increase in the thickness of the address setting card. .
　そこで、アドレス設定用カードの厚みを増加させたくない場合には、取手部分６０に代えて、たとえば、カード本体の長さを増やし、カード本体の縁を摘むことでスロット４０に抜挿可能としてもよい。この場合、カード本体の上面に固有の番号を付せばよい。 Therefore, in the case where it is not desired to increase the thickness of the address setting card, instead of the handle portion 60, for example, the length of the card body can be increased and the card 40 can be inserted into and removed from the slot 40 by gripping the edge of the card body. Good. In this case, a unique number may be given to the upper surface of the card body.
　（実施例３）
　つぎに、本発明の実施例３のアドレス設定用カードについて説明する。アドレス設定装置本体は、汎用的なカードメモリ、例えば、ＳＤカード（登録商標）、コンパクトフラッシュ（登録商標）用のカードソケットと同一規格で構成することもできる。この場合、カード本体は、ＳＤカード（登録商標）、コンパクトフラッシュ（登録商標）と同一サイズのものとしてもよいし、実施例２のようなサイズのものとしてもよい。 (Example 3)
Next, an address setting card according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The main body of the address setting device can also be configured with the same standard as a card socket for general-purpose card memory, for example, SD card (registered trademark) or compact flash (registered trademark). In this case, the card body may be the same size as the SD card (registered trademark) or the compact flash (registered trademark), or the size as in the second embodiment.
