Multiplex transmission apparatus
First Claim
1. A multiplex transmission apparatus including a plurality of control nodes connected to a common multiplex transmission path in a decentralized manner, said plurality of control nodes classified into a plurality of types of nodes corresponding to control functions, comprising:
- communication control means, located in each of said plurality of control nodes, for performing a communication function dependent upon the type of node; and
operation process means, located in a specific control node among said plurality of control nodes, for performing a predetermined operation process,wherein the communication control means in the specific control node controls signal communication between the multiplex transmission path and the operation process means, and said operation process means performs an operation generating a first control signal based on control information received from the multiplex transmission path, while nodes other than the specific control node generate a second control signal based on control information received from the multiplex transmission path without performing operation process.

Abstract
A multiplex transmission apparatus including first-type control nodes connected to a multiplex transmission path, which generate a predetermined signal without operation process to received control information and generated information, and second-type nodes which perform the predetermined operation process to received control information and generated information, and generate a control signal. The first and second type nodes are appropriately used corresponding to control functions.

9. A multiplex transmission apparatus including a plurality of control nodes connected to a common multiplex transmission path in a decentralized manner, the plurality of control nodes classified into a plurality of types of nodes corresponding to control functions, the apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver located in each of said plurality of control nodes to perform a communication function dependent upon a type of node; and an operation control unit located in a specific control node among the plurality of control nodes to perform a predetermined operation process, wherein the transceiver in the specific control node controls signal communication between the multiplex transmission path and the operation control unit, and the operation control unit performs an operation generating a first control signal based on control information received from the multiplex transmission path, while nodes other than the specific control node generate a second control signal, without performing operation process, based on control information received from the multiplex transmission path.

10. A multiplex transmission apparatus, comprising:
-
a common multiplex transmission path; a first control node connected to said common multiplex transmission path, said first control node including an operation control unit to receive control information from the common multiplex transmission path and perform a predetermined operation process to generate a first control signal based on the received control information, and a first communication unit to control signal communication between the multiplex transmission path and the operation control unit; and a second control node connected to said common multiplex transmission path, said second control node including a second communication unit to generate a second control signal, without performing operation process, based on control information received from the multiplex transmission path.
