Multiplex transmission system and abnormality processing controlling method and apparatus used therefor
First Claim
1. A multiplex transmission system comprising:
- a multiplex transmission network through which normality and abnormality processing control specification information (PCSI) for loads are transmitted;
a master load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes the abnormality PCSI for each of the loads as a main operation;
a slave load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes said abnormality PCSI as a slave operation between itself and said master LCU; and
external removable storage means, which is mountable in said master LCU and slave LCU which can update and hold the information and read the information at any time in a mounted state,wherein said abnormality processing control specification information includes a default processing including a previous state continuing processing, a forcible ON processing, and a forcible OFF processing.

Abstract
A multiplex transmission system includes a multiplex transmission network through which normality and abnormality processing control specification information (PCSI) for loads are transmitted. A master load control unit (LCU) is connected to the multiplex transmission network. The master load control unit can multiplex the abnormality PCSi for a load as a main operation. A slave load control unit (LCU) is connected to the multiplex transmission network. The slave load control unit can multiplex the abnormality PCSI as a slave operation between itself and the main LCU. A storage device is mounted in the master and slave LCUs. The storage device can update and hold the information and read it at any time. In this multiplex transmission system, multiplexing abnormality can be detected and abnormality processing in the LCU in an abnormal state is controlled to urge its recovery of the LCU to a normal state.

7. A multiplex transmission system, comprising:
-
a multiplex transmission network through which normality and abnormality processing control specification information (PCSI) for loads, divided into a prescribed number of unit transmission frames, are transmitted; a master load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes the abnormality PCSI for each of the loads as a main operation; a slave load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes said abnormality PCSI as a slave operation between itself and said master LCU; and external removable storage means, which is mountable in said master LCU and slave LCU which can update and hold the information and read the information at any time in a mounted state, wherein said master LCU multiplexes the abnormality PCSI taken from said external storage means during said abnormality mode communication for each of the prescribed number of said unit transmission frames in synchronism with a reception normal ACK which is transmitted when said slave LCU has normally received one of said unit transmission frames, wherein in multiplexing during the abnormal mode communication, when said slave LCU has normally received one of said unit transmission frames in said abnormality PCSI transmitted by said master LCU, said slave LCU transmits the reception normal ACK to the master LCU, and said master LCU executes said unit transmission frames again until said master LCU receives the reception normal ACK, and said master LCU executing a new unit frame subsequent to the unit transmission frames already transmitted when said master LCU receives the reception normal ACK.

8. A multiplex transmission system, comprising:
-
a multiplex transmission network through which normality and abnormality processing control specification information (PCSI) for loads, divided into a prescribed number of unit transmission frames, are transmitted; a master load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes the abnormality PCSI for each of the loads as a main operation; a slave load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes said abnormality PCSI as a slave operation between itself and said master LCU; and external removable storage means, which is mountable in said master LCU and slave LCU which can update and hold the information and read the information at any time in a mounted state, wherein said master LCU multiplexes the abnormality PCSI taken from said external storage means during said abnormality mode communication for each of the prescribed number of said unit transmission frames in synchronism with a reception normal ACK which is transmitted when said slave LCU has normally received one of said unit transmission frames, wherein said slave LCU creates an acknowledge ACK which is check sum information for the abnormality PSCI received from said master LCU to decide a coincidence between the created acknowledge ACK and an acknowledge ACK received from the master LCU, if the coincidence is not obtained, executes multiplexing for each unit frame on the basis of the abnormality PSCI stored in the master LCU, if the coincidence is obtained, further decides the coincidence between the abnormality PSCI held in the storage means of the slave LCU and that received from the master LCU and if the coincidence is not obtained, updates the contents of the storage means of the slave LCU to the abnormality PSCI received from the master LCU to complete the multiplexing in said abnormality mode communication.

9. A method for controlling abnormality processing in a multiplex transmission system having:
-
a multiplex transmission network through which normality and abnormality processing control specification information (PCSI) for loads, divided into a prescribed number of unit transmission frames, are transmitted; a master load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes the abnormality PCSI for each of the loads as a main operation; a slave load control unit (LCU) connected to said multiplex transmission network, which multiplexes said abnormality PCSI as a slave operation between itself and said master LCU; and external removable storage means, which is mountable in said master LCU and slave LCU which can update and hold the information and read the information at any time in a mounted state, wherein said master LCU multiplexes the abnormality PCSI taken from said external storage means during said abnormality mode communication for each of the prescribed number of said unit transmission frames in synchronism with a reception normal ACK which is transmitted when each of said slave LCUs has normally received one of said unit transmission frames. said method of controlling abnormality processing comprising the steps of; when said master LCU falls in an abnormal state while the normal mode communication is executed and also when the normal mode communication is described as the communication mode information, executing the multiplexing for the master LCU using the normality PSCI stored in the slave LCU which is executing the normal mode communication, thereby urging its recovery to the normal state; when the slave LCU falls in the abnormal state while the normal mode communication is executed and also when the normal mode communication is described in the communication mode information, executing the multiplexing for the slave LCU using the normality PSCI stored in the master LCU or slave LCU which is normally executing the normal mode communication, thereby urging the recovery to the normal state; and when the slave LCU falls in the abnormal state while the normal mode communication is executed and also the abnormal mode communication is described in the communication mode information, executing the multiplexing for the slave LCU using the normality PSCI stored in the master, thereby urging the recovery to the normal state. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
