First Claim
Patent Images
1. A teleprinter remote control and data reporting system comprising:
- a control station having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals;
at least one outstation having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals, said receiving means including means responsive to a selected teleprinter call character for opening said outstation to a command signal from said control station whenever said selected teleprinter call character is received by said outstation for a predetermined number of times in succession, and said transmitting means including means for transmitting a predetermined teleprinter acknowledgment character whenever said selected teleprinter call character has been received by said outstation for said predetermined number of turns in succession; and
, a communication channel connecting said control station and said outstation.

1. A teleprinter remote control and data reporting system comprising:
- a control station having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals;
at least one outstation having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals, said receiving means including means responsive to a selected teleprinter call character for opening said outstation to a command signal from said control station whenever said selected teleprinter call character is received by said outstation for a predetermined number of times in succession, and said transmitting means including means for transmitting a predetermined teleprinter acknowledgment character whenever said selected teleprinter call character has been received by said outstation for said predetermined number of turns in succession; and
, a communication channel connecting said control station and said outstation.
- a control station having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals;
-
2. The system of claim 1 further characterized by said outstation including means operative whenever said outstation is open for transmitting reporting date in teleprinter code to said control station in response to a report command teleprinter signal from said control station.
-
3. The system of claim 2 wherein said reporting data transmitting means comprises:
- report shift register means for commutating the report data from a plurality of data sources;
control means for said report shift register means;
means for producing a predetermined teleprinter character in parallel form whenever the binary value of the reporting data is '"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"'1'"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"' and a different predetermined teleprinter character whenever the binary value is '"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"'0'"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"';
transmitted signal shift register means for converting the parallel teleprinter character from said character-producing means into serial form for transmission over said communication channel; and
control means for said transmitted signal shift register means.
- report shift register means for commutating the report data from a plurality of data sources;
-
4. The system of claim 1 further characterized by means operative whenever said outstation is open for actuating a selected remote control function in response to a remote control teleprinter command signal from said control station.
-
5. The system of claim 4 further characterized by means for acknowledging receipt of said remote control command signal before said remote control function is actuated.
-
6. The system of claim 5 further characterized by means for acknowledging the actuation of said remote control function.
-
7. A teleprinter remote control and data reporting system comprising:
- a control station having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals;
at least one outstation having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals, said receiving means including means responsive to a selected teleprinter call character or opening said outstation to a command signal from said control station whenever said selected teleprinter call character is received by said outstation for a predetermined number of times in succession;
said transmitting means including means operative whenever said outstation is open for transmitting reporting data in teleprinter code to said control station in response to a report command teleprinter signal from said control station, report shift register means for commutating the report data from a plurality of data sources;
control means for said report shift register means;
means for producing a predetermined teleprinter character in parallel form whenever the binary value of the repOrting data is '"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"'1'"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"' and a different predetermined teleprinter character whenever the binary value is '"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"'0'"'"''"'"''"'"''"'"';
transmitted signal shift register means for converting the parallel teleprinter character from said character-producing means into serial form for transmission over said communication channel; and
control means for said transmitted signal shift register means; and
a communication channel connecting said control station and said outstation.
- a control station having means for transmitting and receiving teleprinter signals;
-
8. The teleprinter remote control and data reporting system of claim 7 wherein said transmitting means further includes means for transmitting a predetermined teleprinter acknowledgment character whenever said selected teleprinter call character has been received by said outstation for said predetermined number of times in succession.
-
9. The system of claim 8 further characterized by means operative whenever said outstation is open for actuating a selected remote control function in response to a remote control teleprinter command signal from said control station.
-
10. The system of claim 9 further characterized by means for acknowledging receipt of said remote control command signal before said remote control function is actuated.
-
11. The system of claim 10 further characterized by means for acknowledging the actuation of said remote control function.
