Abstract
Abstract Arrangement for supervising a CMI-code converter in a PCM-multiplex transmission system, in which a binary signal is converted into a CMI-signal or vice versa, the code converter having a first terminal for the CMI-signal and a second terminal for the binary signal, characterized in that the first input of the code converter is connected to a first input of a modulo-2 divider and also via a delay element to a second input of a modulo-2 divider, that the output of the modulo-2 divider is connected to a first input of a summing device, that the second terminal of the decoder unit is connected to a second input of the summing device and that the supervising signal is produced at the output of the summing device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
An apparatus for supervising a Code Mark Inversion code converter in a Pulse Code Modulated multiplex transmission system, wherein a binary signal is converted into a code mark inversion signal or vice versa, the code converter having a first terminal for the code mark inversion signal and a second terminal for the binary signal, the apparatus comprising: a modulo-2 divider having connected to a first input thereof the first terminal of the code converter; a delay element having connected thereto the first terminal of the code converter, the delay element having an output connected to a second input of the modulo-2 divider; a decoding means connected to the first terminal of the code converter, the decoding means having a terminal; a summary means having connected to respective first and second inputs thereof an output of the modulo-2 divider and the terminal of the decoding means; wherein a signal for supervising the code converter is output from the summary means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
An apparatus for supervising a Code Mark Inversion code converter in a Pulse Code Modulated multiplex transmission system, wherein a binary signal is converted into a code mark inversion signal or vice versa, the code converter having a first terminal for the code mark inversion signal and a second terminal for the binary signal, the apparatus comprising: a modulo-2 divider having connected to a first input thereof the first terminal of the code converter; a delay element having connected thereto the first terminal of the code converter, the delay element having an output connected to a second input of the modulo-2 divider; a decoding means connected to the first terminal of the code converter, the decoding means having a terminal; a summary means having connected to respective first and second inputs thereof an output of the modulo-2 divider and the terminal of the decoding means; wherein a signal for supervising the code converter is output from the summary means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: an integrator for receiving the output signal from the summary means; a level detector for receiving from the integrator an integrated output signal from the summary means, the level detector having two threshold levels, the level detector supplying an alarm signal when one of the levels is exceeded.
