Abstract
Abstract A multiplex transmission system of this invention includes a plurality of multiplex nodes interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line. A frame of data is transmitted among the multiplex nodes through the multiplex transmission line. When a data frame transmitted from an air conditioner switch multiplex node (subnode) is received, an air conditioner unit multiplex node (main node), which is predetermined as a destination node, detects the contents of each data from an ID-a of the received data, performs a calculation on SOM to DATA 4 received, generates collation data (CRC) in accordance with the result of the calculation and transmits same. The subnode generates collation data (CRC), which is an error check code, through a calculation on the transmitted SOM to DATA 4, and compares the thus-generated CRC with the CRC received from the main node, to determine whether or not the data transmission was properly carried out. When the data transmission was carried out properly, the subnode returns a signal ACK3, and when the data transmission failed, the data frame is retransmitted, whereby the subnode need not have an ACK management function.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A multiplex transmission system having a plurality of multiplex nodes interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line for transmitting a frame of data among the multiplex nodes through the multiplex transmission line, at least one multiplex node comprising: transmission memory means, including a transmission buffer memory, for storing data to be inputted; communication control means for transmitting/retransmitting said data stored in the transmission memory means to the multiplex transmission line; and port control means for checking a retransmission of data by the communication control means when a change of the data to be inputted is detected, and being responsive to a check result from said port control means for controlling said transmission memory means to stop storing said data having said change until a retransmission of the data is ended.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A multiplex transmission system having a plurality of multiplex nodes interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line for transmitting a frame of data among the multiplex nodes through the multiplex transmission line, at least one multiplex node comprising: transmission memory means, including a transmission buffer memory, for storing data to be inputted; communication control means for transmitting/retransmitting said data stored in the transmission memory means to the multiplex transmission line; and port control means for checking a retransmission of data by the communication control means when a change of the data to be inputted is detected, and being responsive to a check result from said port control means for controlling said transmission memory means to stop storing said data having said change until a retransmission of the data is ended.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A multiplex transmission system according to claim 1, wherein at least one multiplex node determines whether or not to stop storing said data having a change to the transmission memory means until a retransmission of said data is ended.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
240 words
A multiplex transmission system comprising a plurality of multiplex node means, interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line, for transmitting a frame of data among the plurality of multiplex node means through said multiplex transmission line, said plurality of multiplex node means including at least two multiplex node means for returning a respective acknowledge (ACK) transmission signal to said frame when said frame is received, said at least two multiplex node means including: first multiplex node means having an ACK management function for: making a judgment whether or not a retransmission of the frame is carried out in accordance with ACK signals returned from predetermined multiplex node means, in the case where a frame transmitted from another said plurality of multiplex node means is received and the received frame is addressed to a destination node means, generating an error check code in accordance with said frame, and transmitting said error check code to said frame, and second multiplex node means being without said ACK management function and forming said another said plurality of multiplex node means, for: generating a second error check code in accordance with data transmitted from the destination node means, and making a comparison between said second error check code and the error check code generated by said first multiplex node means, so as to make a judgment whether or not a transmission of the data is normally carried out in accordance with a respective comparative result.
