[Prior art] Patent publications BE 900, 816 and 19
The device described in a document titled Buddybus published by Merlin Guerin in November 1988 is such that each relay point is assigned a special address code, and the transmitting point transmits an identification element signal corresponding to the address code of the relay point. It says it will be sent. The relay point compares the address code and an element identifying the received signal and responds to the signal message if they are equal. These devices therefore operate according to conventional allocation principles, ie according to signals sent with the address of the addressee.

Although currently highly technologically advanced, these devices have significant drawbacks. In fact, it is not possible to make several relay points respond to the same signal unless these signals are sent as many times as the relay points respond, each signal corresponding to the address code of the relay point in question. Multiple groups of relay points are allowed to be reacted with different identification elements or if a complex code system with several levels is used, as in the Batibus device by Marlin Guerin. In this case, the relay point address code consists of a first part defining a group of relay points and a second part defining the relay points of that group. However, despite these possibilities, such devices remain limited. In particular, it is not possible to make several groups of receivers react to the same signal, or an additional A more complex code system is used to supply the levels. It is not possible to include the same relay points in one or more groups. These drawbacks make these devices very inflexible and limit the possible interrelated coupling of transmission points and relay points. The device is not extremely modular and sequential development is difficult or even impossible for the correct maximum utilization of the device, the latter being prepared by qualified personnel.

It has been proposed to improve this type of device by assigning addresses at the transmitting station instead of at the receiving station. Such methods are described in patent applications FR 2,535,133 and EP 0,304,023 and EP 0,023,10.
It is applied to the device described in 5. In the bifilar (two wires) digital transmission device described in the Surance publication FR 2,535,133, the addresses of the transmitting stations are stored on the boards of the receiving stations, each board being a special actuator or a group of actuators. connected to. Each rank transmitted by a sending station is accompanied by the address of this station. The receiving station where this address is stored performs the order in which it is received. This device therefore allows any number of receivers to be controlled from the transmitter, allowing modifications at the receiver level to be easily performed by changing the board. This device, however, does not allow the actuator to be controlled by several transmitters. Now such a possibility is useful or even necessary in certain applications.

Next, European patent application EP 0,304,02
In the apparatus described in 3, each transmit/receive control box has 4
It has one input and four outputs. Each input is connected to a control unit and each output is connected to a receiver. Each input of each control box has one address and each output stores one address. As in the previously described device, each receiver is received in the order of only one control unit. Furthermore, patent application EP 0,023,105 describes a dual transmitter device in which the transmitted signal by the transmitters comprises 4 bits for identifying each transmitter. The addresses to which the transmitter is to respond are stored in the transmitter's ROM memory, but each address corresponding to a special output is connected to a special receiver, and therefore as in the device described above. The receiver can be controlled by only one transmitter.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages caused by the limitations presented by the known devices, namely: 1.
Freely and unrestrictedly interrelate with any one or more relay points and one or more arbitrary transmission points, modifying the association and causing any modification of the initial device at any moment in time It is to be possible to proceed with any addition of relay points or transmission points without having to do so.

[0007]

To this effect, the apparatus according to the invention provides that the memory of the logic processing unit consisting of a central processing unit and each relay point is a microprocessor, a non-volatile central program memory and a volatile central data a memory, the central program memory containing the main configuration, and the application program itself comprising a frame receiving subroutine and a subroutine for executing the instructions supplied by the main program, while for one storage signal the storage signal A subroutine is included within that frame which executes instructions for selecting the signals propagating on the bus line of the identification element corresponding to the corresponding received transmit a signal to the device. The device according to the invention not only achieves the set objectives;
Furthermore, it is easy to perform, especially by unqualified skilled personnel at the user. In one form of implementation, the device allows flexibility in the priority in the execution of instructions contained in signals initially generated from various transmission points, executing simultaneously and allowing individual control in addition to centralized control. If the device wishes to execute the instructions sent directly by the relay points, the priority is predefined by the format,
Defined by the user or by both.

Instruction 32 sets the display to 0, instruction 32 allows the main program to jump to the frame acceptance subroutine once the transmit signal has been propagated onto the bus line, instruction 24 blocks the authorization obtained by instruction 32. This is an order to do so.

The central data memory temporarily stores the address table consisting of memory slots (FIG. 5) that store the transmit addresses to which the relay points respond and the information contained in the final signal frame propagating on the bus line. For each frame memory slot and the stored frame address corresponds to the stored address in the address table,

The contact points C1 to C4 are scanned. Instruction 23 checks the position of contact C1 and calls instruction 24 to prevent external interrupts. From this moment forward, the LPU (Logic Processing Unit) of the relay point remains unresponsive to signals that can be propagated to the bus line 3. Instruction 37 checks that contact C4 is not activated and, if indeed this is the case, contacts C4

As long as there is no change and contact C2 is activated, the address of the memory slot will continue to increase. Contact C2 is opened when the address corresponds to the address of the transmitter being programmed. If the address is exceeded, it is sufficient to activate contact C3. This instant command 2

It is sufficient to activate contact C4 of the user interface 7. Instructions 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are executed as described above, instruction 37 checks that contact C4 is actuated and instruction 30 directs the address table to be moved to the next memory slot (FIG. 5). increase. The address of transmitter 1 is then stored in the same way by pre-actuating on contacts C2 and C3.

An application example will be described below. The main program is shown in Figure 1.
The process is executed according to the flowchart of No. 3. Instructions 21 and 22 are pre-executed. Contact C1 is placed in applied mode. command 2

If the address stored by does not correspond to the address stored in PRG mode, the subroutine returns to the main program, instruction 33 checks that the update indicator is 0, and loops back to the main program with a new signal. .

Each relay point 2 is programmed in this way. A relay point can store the addresses of different transmission points, and can add or remove transmission addresses at a relay point at any moment. For this purpose, it is sufficient to proceed as described above. That is, contact C1 is used to place the device in program mode.

Each relay point 2 is provided in a central program memory in a priority table consisting of several memory slots (FIG. 7). Code in the form of transmission point 1 is stored by special instructions in each of the memory slots. One memory slot in this considered example is URGENT, WIND, EX.

The table 81 is an address table having the function of storing the address of the transmission point that responds to the relay point, as in the first embodiment. The table 82 is a transmission status table having a function of storing the status of whether a transmission point is activated or not. The operating state is stored as “UP, DOWN and STOP” commands, and the inactive state is stored as “UP, DOWN and STOP” commands.

CD display 13 has 3 digits with 8 segments plus:
A segment or LED corresponding to the transmission point is provided as shown by the slot in FIG. In the considered example these segments or LEDs are 9 in number and the function of revealing memory slots is indicated in the priority table (FIG. 7). Pulsing contact C4 of the user interface 7 increments the position of the priority table pointer.

The main program and reception subroutine are shown in FIG.
14 with additional instructions appearing in the flow diagram of FIG. Furthermore, an instruction 36 reads a code for the type of transmitter included in the frame and further stores an instruction 3.
6'. New instruction 43 is an instruction that checks to receive a transmitter type code for a frame that corresponds to the type stored in the priority table. Instruction 44 is replaced by instruction 44' which checks that the received frame address for the pre-checked format corresponds to an instruction stored in the address table. The instruction 45 is an instruction for updating the slot of the instruction table 83 corresponding to the slot and format of the state table 82 and the address included in the frame stored in 36'. This instruction places a 1 or 0 in the slot of status table 82 as to whether the corresponding instruction is active or not, and takes over the instruction into the slot of instruction table 83. Instruction 39 is an instruction to read the slot of status table 82 according to the priority table instruction. Instruction 40 is an instruction for checking the status of the slot read by the previous instruction. The instruction 41 is an instruction to read the slot of the instruction table 83 corresponding to the slot checked by the instruction 40. Instruction 42 is an instruction for checking the position of the last pointer in the state table. Instructions 27, 29, 30 are instructions 27', 29', 3
Replaced with 0'. Instructions 27' and 29' are instructions for incrementing and decrementing, respectively, the address of the memory slot corresponding to the slot indicated in the priority table. Instruction 30' is an instruction to increase the priority table pointer. The instruction 34 is replaced by an instruction 34' which is an instruction for starting a subroutine for executing the instruction stored in the instruction table 83 corresponding to the slot checked by the instruction 40.

The configuration of the device is carried out as follows. That is, the contact C1 of the user interface 7 is placed in the program mode, and the command 21 of the main program (PRG)
, 22, 23, 24, 25 are performed as in the first embodiment. Contact C4 is activated and instruction 30' increments the priority table pointer. Instruction 31 activates the LCD display so that the location of the pointer is visible. Contact C4 is activated until the pointer is programmed onto the transmitter type slot. As with the previous embodiment, the addresses of the sending points are connected to contacts C2 and C3 and instructions 26, 27', 28
and stored by 29'. In a well-considered example, each relay point 2 is URGENT, WIND, EX
One address for each of the TERIOR, CLOCK, and RAIN transmitter types in GROUPS and SU.
For N format, it is allowed to store two addresses.

Contact C1 (FIG. 4) is replaced in the application mode, if one signal propagates on bus line 3, commands 21, 22, 23, 32, 35, 36
' is executed in the previous mode. Instructions 43 and 44'
is included in the frame and stored at 36' and continuously checks that the address of the transmitter is previously stored, and then the instruction 45 is executed in the table 82 in the slot corresponding to the transmitter. Proceeds to update the transmitter status table 82 and the command table 83, and in the table in the slot corresponding to the transmitter regarding the nature of the command, that table is updated if the command is UP.
1 if it corresponds to any one of the /DOWN/STOP commands
, otherwise 0.

Instructions 38, 33, 37 are executed as in the previous mode, and then instruction 39 activates a read for the priority table instruction for the first slot of transmitter state table 82. Instruction 40 checks whether the memory slot read at 39 is equal to 1, and then instruction 41 reads the corresponding slot in instruction table 83. The program then executes as in the previous mode and sends instructions to the receiver 4. If 43 and 44
If one of the checks in ' is false, the accept subroutine loops back to the main program, no updates are performed, and the update indicator is left at zero. Instruction 33 loops to instruction 22 without sending any instructions to receiver 4. If command 4
If 0 confirms that the state of the slot read by instruction 39 is equal to 0 (in the case of an inactive send), instruction 42 checks whether the pointer is the end of the table and then loops to instruction 22. However, no commands are sent to the receiver 4.

If instruction 42 determines that the pointer is not the end of the table, the program loops to instruction 39 which reads the next slot in state table 82 with respect to the instructions in the previous table, and then the program returns as previously described. to be executed. Importantly, the priority table pointer can access the next slot only if the corresponding state table 82 slot is equal to zero. Under these conditions, in the case of multiple simultaneous transmitting points, the corresponding commands are executed by the commands in the priority table (Figure 7), and the command of the next working transmitting point is It will be executed as long as it is inactive. The instructions of a transmit point that is continuously active are then non-executable and are never executed while the prioritized transmit point in the priority table is active.

Next, a third embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 9, 10, and 15. In this embodiment, the user interface 7' (FIG. 9) of each relay point 2 is UP, DOWN.
and three additional contacts C5, C6 and C7 corresponding to the STOP/HALT commands. Priority table 80
’ (Figure 10) is the “relay point” additional memory slot 8.
01. In the considered example, this slot 801 is located after the "GROUP CONTROL" memory slot. This memory slot 8
01 stores the reference code of the relay point. address 8
1' and in the transmit state 82' and instruction 83' tables, respectively, additional memory slots are provided;
It is integrated into slot 801 of the priority table. Slots 821 and 831 are for storing activation/deactivation status and relay point commands, respectively.

The main program includes additional instructions 46 and 48 shown in FIG. 15 along with adjacent instructions. For the rest the flow diagram is unique to the flow diagram of FIG. The frame acceptance subroutine remains unchanged. Command 48 is a command to check whether contacts C5, C6, and C7 of user interface 7' are operating. Instruction 46 is an instruction for updating corresponding slots in state table 82' and instruction table 83'.

The operation of this third embodiment is as follows. That is, the construction of the device is carried out in the same way as in the previous embodiment. The application mode is different from the previous mode at the end of instruction 33. When instruction 33 confirms that the update display is 0, it calls instruction 48 which checks the state of contacts C5, C6, C7 of the user interface 7' of the relay point. If inactivity is detected, the program loops back to instruction 22. If on the other hand C5, C6,
Upon detecting that any contact of C7 is actuated, instruction 46 proceeds to update the memory slots of state table 82' and instruction table 83'. Then, as in the previous example, instructions 39, 40, 42 are instruction 4
Instruction 40 is executed until 0 checks a slot equal to 1 in state table 82'. If there are no other active transmitters, placed above the priority table 80', instruction 40 checks for a condition equal to 1 of the slot corresponding to the associated relay point, then instruction 41
and 34' are executed as before. The command is activated. If at the same time the type of transmitter located above the priority table 80' is activated, the command of the relay point will not be executed as long as this transmitter is activated according to the same diagram in the previous embodiment. This embodiment allows the latter to control the receiver 4 linked more directly to the relay point 2 while following the priority order.

The fourth embodiment will be described below using FIGS. 11 and 16. In this mode of application, the priority table is not located in the central program memory, but in the central data memory as shown in FIG. , representing address transmitter status and commands. The priority table 80'' consists of a number of memory slots for the number of slots in the previous embodiment, each of these slots being combined with an address, status and command table slot. The contact C4 of the user interface 7' is additionally connected to the priority table 80'' to the corresponding slot of the address table 81''.
is provided in PRG (program) mode for moving the pointer from the point indicated by the slot. A three digit window on the LCD display is provided to additionally display the transmitter type code when the pointer is in the priority table. Contact point C2 of user interface 7'
and C3 are provided to increment/decrement respectively while the pointer is in the priority table by adding transmitter type codes.

The central data memory comprises an indicator type consisting of an additional memory slot for receiving 0's or 1's. The main program includes a number of additional instructions that appear in the flow diagram excerpt shown in FIG. The remainder of the flow diagram is the same as the flow diagram of FIG. Command 49 is a command to check the status of the display type. Command 50 is a command to increase the priority table 80''. Command 51 is a command to set the display format to 1. Command 52 is a command to increase the priority table 80'' to a command specified in advance in the priority table. This is a command to move the pointer to the address table 81'' for the slot corresponding to .The command 53 is a command to set the display format to 0. Provided to initialize the format to zero.

The construction of the device of the fourth embodiment is carried out in the following manner. That is, contact point C1 of the user interface
is switched to program mode. The display type is initialized to zero. The user activates contact C4. Instructions 22, 23, 24, 25, 37 are executed as in the previous example, then instruction 50 increments the priority table, instruction 51 sets the display format to 1, and the program later loops. Run as described above. For example, if the pointer is in the first slot of priority table 80'', the user then activates contact C2/C3. Instruction 37 checks that contact C4 is no longer activated and increments the type code. /decrease instruction26/28
, 27'/29' are continuously called. The code is now displayed on the LCD display by instruction 31. The program then loops back.

The user activates contact C4 twice, command 4
9 checks that the display type is 1, and command 52
and moves the pointer from the slot in the priority table to the corresponding slot in address table 81''. Instruction 53 resets the display format to 0 and returns the program loop.
1'' slot, the user actuates contacts C2/C3 twice, as noted above, and command 37
causes instructions 26/28 and instructions 27'/29' to operate continuously. Here, instructions 27'/29' are set to LC by instruction 31.
D Increase/decrease the address code displayed on the display. Repeating the previous action is performed in the priority table 80''
The transmitter type code stored in each slot of the address table 81'' is given as the address code in each corresponding slot of the address table 81''.

In the application mode, simultaneous transmitter commands are executed according to the hierarchy of the priority table, ie according to the hierarchy defined by the user. The implementation is accomplished according to a diagram similar to the previous example. This embodiment exhibits the advantage of allowing the user to optionally define a hierarchical configuration for executing the instructions of the transmitters operating simultaneously.

The fifth embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 12 and 17. In this embodiment, the portion of the priority table 80'' (FIG. 12) includes protected memory slots containing code in the programmed form. In this example under consideration, the protected memory slots are the first two 16, the main program comprises an additional instruction 54 (FIG. 17) which is an instruction to check that the memory slots indicated in the priority table are protected. In order not to recreate the entire flow diagram of Figure 16 unnecessarily, Figure 17 shows additional instructions 54 and adjacent instructions.By means of contact C1 of the user interface 7', the program mode is switched and the configuration of the device is configured according to the instructions. 50 differs from the previous embodiment at the end of 50. If the pointer is in a slot of priority table 80'', instruction 54 checks that this slot is protected. If this is true, instruction 52 is called to move the pointer to the corresponding slot in address table 81''. If the indicated slot is an unprotected slot, instruction 54 sets the indicator type to 1. The program loops back as described in the first embodiment.

In the application mode the operation is similar to that in the fourth embodiment. The transmitter commands operating simultaneously are executed according to the hierarchical organization of the priority table. That is, a compromise between a predefined hierarchical structure and a hierarchical structure defined by the user is followed. A fourth embodiment allows some form of command of the transmitters, such as the safety command of these transmitters such as URGENT, WIND, and the user the free choice of a hierarchy of transmitters to which the commands are more subject. Demonstrates the benefits of allowing priorities to impose orders and execution.

Finally, a sixth embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20. In this sixth embodiment, the transmission point 1' is comprised in an additional contact C9 and in a non-volatile memory 16 provided with an instruction contained in the frame of the signal, which is a code indicating an instantaneous instruction when contact C9 is actuated. It is equipped with a program. The interface 7'' of the relay point starts from the relay point and starts from the relay point contact C, with an additional contact C8 and contacts C5, C6 and C7 provided for transmission, in a manner similar to the transmission point.
8 is in operation, C5, C6, and C7 serve as contacts for commands to instantly raise, lower, and stop, respectively. The central data memory of the relay point contains, in addition to the priority order 80', the form of a command table 84 consisting of an address 81', a transmitter status 82', a command table 83' and a number of memory slots, and a priority table 80'. (FIG. 20) with each of these slots. These memory slots are provided for storing instantaneous states when a received frame contains an instantaneous code or when a relay point sends an instantaneous command.

A flow diagram according to this sixth embodiment is shown in FIG.
4 and modified according to FIG. 21 with the modifications of FIG. 15. Instruction 4 in Figure 14
5 is replaced by an instruction 45' that updates the transmitter's state table, instruction, format, and instruction format corresponding to the address. Instruction 46 in FIG. 15 is replaced by instruction 46' which updates the state table, the instruction, and the type of instruction corresponding to the relay point. The main program comprises an additional instruction 54 for checking the presence of an instantaneous instruction code in the form of an instruction table and an additional instruction 55 for resetting the instruction table of the form to zero. The configuration of relay points is performed in the same way as in the previous execution mode.

The mode of application differs from the previous mode at the end of instruction 41. Instruction 54 indicates that the instruction read in instruction 41 in the form of an instruction table is not an instantaneous instruction, then instruction 34' executes in an analogous manner to the previous mode, and the subroutine operates the instruction read in instruction 41. Check things to do. If instruction 54 confirms the existence of an instantaneous instruction, it calls instruction 42 which checks that the pointer is at the end of the table. In this case, instruction 42 calls instruction 34' which activates a subroutine that executes the instruction read by instruction 41. That is, it is an instantaneous command. If the other instruction 42 does not check the end of the table, then
Looping back to instruction 39, the program executes as before, continuously checking all slots in state table 82' until a permanent instruction is encountered or the end of the table is reached. If a permanent instruction is encountered, the latter is then executed immediately and the previous instantaneous instruction is then erased by instruction 55. If the end of the table is reached, the last instantaneous instruction encountered is executed. Momentary commands are ignored as long as there are permanent motion commands in the table.

This embodiment therefore does not layer one or more transmission points or one or more relay points whose corresponding commands are ignored only in the absence of any non-instantaneous activation commands. possible. The possibility of instantaneous instruction execution is almost provided in the second, fourth and fifth embodiments. In the case of the second mode of application, the relay point interface 7 has three additional contacts C5, C6, C7 and no contact C8, and the priority table is provided in the central program memory. In a fifth embodiment,
The transmission points of WIND and URGENT do not have contact point C9,
As a result, there is no possibility of sending instantaneous commands. In each case, the format of the instruction table is applied as a result.
