INSTRUMENTATION CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An instrumentation control system, comprising:
- a first field device; and
a second field device coupled to the first field device via a fieldbus to allow bidirectional communication, wherein the first field device comprises;
a transmitting buffer to store data to be transmitted to the second field device;
a transmitter to transmit the data to the second field device; and
an inquiry processing section to cause the transmitter to retransmit the data stored in the transmitting buffer to the second field device in response to a data retransmission request from the second field device, and the second field device comprises;
a receiving buffer to store the data transmitted from the first field device;
a checking section to determine whether the data stored in the receiving buffer is normal or not, and to make a data retransmission request to the first field device if the data stored in the receiving buffer is not normal; and
a processing unit to perform predetermined processing based on the data which is determined to be normal by the checking section.

Abstract
Disclosed is an instrumentation control system, including: a first field device; and a second field device coupled to the first field device via a fieldbus. The first field device includes: a transmitting buffer to store data to be transmitted; a transmitter; and an inquiry processing section to cause the transmitter to retransmit the data stored in the transmitting buffer to the second field device in response to a request from the second field device. The second field device includes: a receiving buffer to store the data transmitted from the first field device; a checking section to determine whether the data stored in the receiving buffer is normal or not, and to make a data retransmission request to the first field device if the data stored in the receiving buffer is not normal; and a processing unit to perform predetermined processing based on the data which is determined to be normal.
