SYSTEM IN WHICH PLURAL CONTROLLED DEVICES AND MAIN CONTROL DEVICE ARE CONNECTED VIA NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462630 titled 'SYSTEM IN WHICH PLURAL CONTROLLED DEVICES AND MAIN CONTROL DEVICE ARE CONNECTED VIA NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where multiple controlled devices are connected to a main control device via a network. The main control device can transmit and receive data frames with different data areas in a predetermined cycle, and can set the structure of the data frame to coordinate communication between the controlled devices.

  • The system includes a main control device, multiple controlled devices, and a network connecting them.
  • The main control device can send and receive data frames with different data areas.
  • The main control device can set the structure of the data frame to facilitate communication between the controlled devices.
  • The data frame includes areas for writing data from one controlled device and reading data from another controlled device.

Potential Applications

  • Industrial automation systems
  • Smart home devices
  • Internet of Things (IoT) networks

Problems Solved

  • Efficient communication between multiple controlled devices
  • Coordinated data exchange in a networked system
  • Simplified control and management of connected devices

Benefits

  • Improved system efficiency
  • Enhanced data exchange capabilities
  • Streamlined control and coordination of devices


Original Abstract Submitted

In a system, a plurality of controlled devices, including a first controlled device and a second controlled device, and a main control device configured to control the plurality of controlled devices are connected via a network. The main control device includes a communicator configured to transmit and receive a data frame including a plurality of data areas via the network in a predetermined cycle, and a setter configured to set a structure of the data frame. The setter has a function of setting the same data area in the data frame as a data area in which the first controlled device should write data and a data area from which the second controlled device should read data.
