Abstract
Abstract In a data communication system which has a common transmission line, a plurality of transceivers connected to the transmission line and data processors connected to the respective transceivers, and in which data from the data processor is delivered to the common transmission line through the corresponding transceiver, and data from the common transmission line is delivered to the data processor through the transceiver, so as to perform data communications among the data processors; a data communication system wherein said each transceiver comprises a first circuit which checks if an address of the data received from the transmission line has been received without any transmission error, a second circuit which checks if the address is one directed to the particular transceiver when the absence of the transmission error has been decided by the first circuit, a third circuit which turns back and delivers the received data when the address directed to the particular transceiver has been decided by the second circuit, and a fourth circuit which compares the sent data with the data turned back from another transceiver, the sending of the data being stopped when disagreement has been detected by the fourth circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A data communication system wherein data is communicated among a plurality of stations through first and second transmission lines connected to said stations, wherein each of the stations comprises first means for sending to said first transmission line an address of the station to which data is to be sent along with data in the form of a plurality of sequential signals, second means for receiving sequential data signals and an address sent through said first transmission line, third means for checking to see if an address received by said second means is one directed to the particular station, fourth means for immediately sending to said second transmission line the sequential data signals being received by said second means when an address directed to the particular station has been detected by said third means, and fifth means for comparing each of the sequential signals of the data received from said second transmission line and the sequential signals of the data sent by said first means on said first transmission line to determine the accuracy of transmission of data on said first transmission line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
A data communication system wherein data is communicated among a plurality of stations through first and second transmission lines connected to said stations, wherein each of the stations comprises first means for sending to said first transmission line an address of the station to which data is to be sent along with data in the form of a plurality of sequential signals, second means for receiving sequential data signals and an address sent through said first transmission line, third means for checking to see if an address received by said second means is one directed to the particular station, fourth means for immediately sending to said second transmission line the sequential data signals being received by said second means when an address directed to the particular station has been detected by said third means, and fifth means for comparing each of the sequential signals of the data received from said second transmission line and the sequential signals of the data sent by said first means on said first transmission line to determine the accuracy of transmission of data on said first transmission line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
A data communication system according to claim 1, wherein said first means includes means for sending an error check code relating to the address along with the sequential data signals and the address, and said second means of each station includes sixth means for checking to see if the address has been received without any transmission error and for actuating said third means when the absence of a transmission error has been determined.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A data communication system according to claim 1 or 2, wherein each station further comprises seventh means for stopping the sending of data to said first transmission line when disagreement between the sequential data signals sent on said first transmission line and the sequential data signals received on said second transmission line has been detected by said fifth means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A data communication system according to claim 1, wherein said sequential data signals are bits which form the data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
234 words
In a data communication system having a transmission line, and a plurality of stations each of which has a data processor for handling data and a transceiver, in which data is communicated between the stations through the transmission line; a data communication system wherein the transmission line consists of first and second transmission lines, and wherein each transceiver comprises first means for receiving a data sending request signal from said data processor; second means responsive to said first means for applying to said data processor a signal indicating permission for sending data when no data signal is being received at the time said data sending request signal is received; third means for sending to said first transmission line data and an address of a station to which data is to be sent from said data processor, in response to said permission indicating signal; fourth means for receiving data and an address sent through said first transmission line; fifth means for checking to see if the address received by said fourth means is one directed to the particular station; sixth means for sending to said second transmission line the data received by said fourth means when the address directed to the particular station has been detected by said fifth means; and seventh means for comparing the data from said second transmission line and the send data sent by said third means on a bit-by-bit basis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
234 words
