- This optical signal is input to one optical input unit 120 a of the optical distributor 102 a connected via the optical communication line 103.
- the optical distributor 102a outputs an optical signal input to one optical input unit 120a from all four optical output units 121a. Since three of the four optical output units 121a are connected to the three optical communication devices 110a including the optical communication device 110a that is the transmission source, all three optical communication devices 110a receive data signals from the transmission source. Can be received. As a result, in the optical communication device 110a that is the transmission source, the CAN controller 113 can compare the arbitration field of the data signal being output from the CAN controller 113 with the arbitration field of the received signal that is input. Communication can be realized.
- the remaining one of the four light output sections 121a of the light distributor 102a is connected to the other light distributor 102b via a connector 104a that incorporates a filter 140a. Since the filter 140a transmits 100% of light of the wavelength (650 nm) of the optical signal transmitted by the optical communication device 110a connected to the optical distributor 102a, the optical signal transmitted from one optical communication device 110a is: It also reaches the distributor 102b.
- the optical signal input to one optical input unit 120b of the optical distributor 102b is similarly output from all four optical output units 121b of the optical distributor 102b.
- Three of the four optical output units 121b are connected to the three optical communication devices 110b via the optical communication lines 103, respectively. Since the optical communication device 110b receives the optical signals output from these three optical output units 121b regardless of the wavelength, the optical communication device 110b can receive the optical signals transmitted from the optical communication device 110a. Thereby, the light transmitted from the optical communication device 110a can also be received by the optical communication device 110b.
- the remaining one of the four light output sections 121b of the light distributor 102b is connected to the light distributor 102a via a connector 104b that incorporates a filter 140b. Therefore, an optical signal transmitted from the optical communication device 110a and output from the optical distributor 102a is input to the optical distributor 102b, and then output from the output unit 121b of the optical distributor 102b without being distinguished from other optical signals. Then, it tries to return to the light distributor 102a again.
- the filter 140b of the connector 104b transmits 100% of the light of the wavelength (550 nm) of the optical signal transmitted by the optical communication device 110b connected to the optical distributor 102b, but attenuates light of a different wavelength (650 nm). Let Therefore, the optical signal transmitted from the optical communication device 110a and output from the optical distributor 102a is weak in power even after returning to the optical distributor 102a after being input to the optical distributor 102b. Not received by transceiver 112.
- the optical communication device 110b transmits a data signal so that the data obtained by its own processing can be used by another optical communication device 110b or the optical communication device 110a.
- An optical signal having a wavelength of 550 nm transmitted from the optical communication device 110b is input to one optical input unit 120b of the optical distributor 102b and output from the four optical output units 121b. Thereby, it is possible to receive the optical signal from the optical communication device 110b by the four optical communication devices 110b including the transmission source.
- the optical signal is output from one optical output unit 121b of the four optical output units 121b to the optical distributor 102a side through the connector 104b incorporating the filter 140b.
- the filter 140b Since the filter 140b transmits an optical signal having a wavelength of 550 nm and attenuates an optical signal having a wavelength of 650 nm, the optical signal from the optical communication device 110b is transmitted. Therefore, the optical signal from the optical communication device 110b reaches the optical distributor 102a.
- the optical signal is input to the optical input unit 120a of the optical distributor 102a and is also output from the optical output unit 121a connected to the optical distributor 102b, but is attenuated by the filter 140a and returns to the optical distributor 102b. Even so, the power is weak and is not received by the transceiver 112 of the optical communication device 110b.
- the optical communication device 110a and the optical communication device 110b can transmit and receive optical signals based on CAN, and the optical distribution is achieved by including the filter 140a and the filter 140b.
- the loop phenomenon of the optical signal between the optical device 102a and the optical distributor 102b can be avoided.
- the optical communication harnesses 105a and 105b are configured, and the optical communication devices 110a, 110a,..., 110b, 110b,.
- an optical communication system that realizes optical communication based on CAN without a GW can be easily constructed.

Abstract
Description
各光通信装置は、光分配器の一の光入力部及び一の光出力部にそれぞれ光通信線を介して接続される。光通信装置は、光分配器の一の光入力部へ光信号の送信を行うと共に、光分配器により分配されて出力された光信号の受信を行うことができ、送信した光信号と受信した光信号とを比較することによって、光信号の送信の衝突を検出することができる。
これにより、光通信装置は、光の有/無をCANプロトコルのドミナント/レセシブに対応させて、CANプロトコルと同様の通信の調停を行うことが可能となり、CANプロトコルに従った通信処理を行うことが可能となる。よって、従来の通信装置に対して、光通信線に接続するためのインタフェース回路などを搭載するのみで、本発明の光通信装置を構成することが可能であり、低コストで光通信装置を開発することができる。
又は、車載通信システムが、光通信機能及び電気通信機能を搭載して電気信号及び光信号の相互変換を行う光電変換装置を備え、この光電変換装置が一又は複数の光通信装置と一又は複数の電気通信装置との間の通信を仲介する構成とする。同様に、車載通信システムに電気通信及び光通信を混在させることが可能となる。
車載通信システムの通信線は、車輌中の限られたスペースに配設されるため、通信線を折り曲げて配設する必要が生じる虞があるが、光通信線として光ファイバを用いた場合、光ファイバは折り曲げて配設することが難しい、即ち光ファイバは配設の自由度が低いという問題がある。そこで、折り曲げに強い電気通信線との混在を可能とすることにより、車載通信システムの車輌中における配設の自由度を高めることができる。
例えば、車輌前部のエンジンルーム内など多数の機器が集中して配される箇所については光通信を行い、車輌前部及び車輌後部の間など比較的距離が長く通信線が折り曲げられる可能性の高い箇所については電気信号を行うなど、光通信及び電気通信の長所・短所に適した構成を実現できる。特に車輌においては、いくつかの特定箇所にそれぞれ多数の機器が配される場合が多いため、本発明の構成が好適である。
光分配器間も光入力部及び光出力部で接続されるので、全面的に光通信化される。
これにより、光通信であっても衝突検知、アービトレーションなどを必須とするCAN等のプロトコルによる通信が可能である。
これにより、1の光分配器に接続されている光通信装置が送信した光信号は、前記1の光分配器に入力され、該光分配器に接続されている他の光通信装置へ出力されると共に、減衰されずに他の光分配器の入力部へ出力される。当該他の光分配器では、光入力部から入力された光を各光出力部から出力するので、1の光分配器から出力されて入力された光も区別なく出力する。他の分配器に接続されるフィルタは、当該他の分配器に接続される光通信装置が送信する光信号の波長とは異なる波長の光を減衰させる。したがって、1の光分配器から出力されて他の光分配器に入力された光は、当該他の光分配器から再度出力されるものの、フィルタによって減衰されるので1の光分配器へ戻らない。
以下、本発明をその実施の形態を示す図面に基づき具体的に説明する。図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る車載通信システムの構成を示すブロック図である。実施の形態1に係る車載通信システムは、複数(2つ)の光通信装置1a、1bを、光カプラ3にそれぞれ光通信線4、5を介して接続した構成であり、光カプラ3を中心としたスター型のネットワークシステムである。
図3及び図4は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る車載通信システムの構成を示すブロック図であり、図3には車載通信システム全体の構成を示し、図4には車載通信システムの各装置の詳細構成を示してある。上述の実施の形態1に係る車載通信システムは2つの光通信装置1a、1bが光通信のみを行う構成である。これに対して実施の形態2に係る車載通信システムは、光通信と電気通信とを混在させたシステムである。実施の形態2に係る車載通信システムは、実施の形態1と同様に2つの光通信装置7a、7bと1つの光カプラ3とを備えると共に、4つの電気通信装置9a~9dを備えている。ただし、実施の形態2に係る車載通信システムの光通信装置7a、7bは、光通信線4、5を介して光通信を行う光通信機能と、CANバス6を介して電気通信を行う電気通信機能を有する構成である。
上述の実施の形態1、2に係る車載通信システムは、2入力2出力の光カプラ3を1つ用いて、2つの光通信装置1a、1b又は7a、7bが光通信を行う構成である。これに対して実施の形態3に係る車載通信システムは、より多くの光通信装置が光通信を行うことを可能としたものである。
図10は、実施の形態4における車載光通信システムの構成を示すブロック図である。車載光通信システムは、車両100に設置され、複数の光通信装置110a,110a,…、110b,110b,…と、光分配器102a,102bと、光通信線103,103,…と、コネクタ104a,104bとを備える。光分配器102a、光通信線103及びコネクタ104aで光通信ハーネス105aを構成する。同様に光分配器102b、光通信線103及びコネクタ104bで光通信ハーネス105bを構成する。
実施の形態4では、フィルタ140aは、光分配器102aの光出力部121aの内の光通信装置110aが接続されていない光出力部121aに接続されているコネクタ104a内に含まれる構成とした。これに対し、実施の形態5では、フィルタ140aに対応するフィルタを光分配器102aと一体化させた構成とする。
