COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND OPTICAL BUS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18487226 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND OPTICAL BUS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication method and apparatus, as well as an optical bus network, for industrial data communication technologies. The method involves a controller sending a target optical head end identifier to a target optical head end when it is discovered. The controller then determines a target management protocol supported by the target optical head end and communicates target information with the target optical head end based on the identifier and protocol. This target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or the optical terminals managed by it.
- The method involves a controller sending a target optical head end identifier to a discovered target optical head end.

Original Abstract Submitted
A communication method and apparatus, and an optical bus network are provided. This application relates to the field of industrial data communication technologies. In the method, a controller sends, when discovering a target optical head end, a target optical head end identifier to the target optical head end, where the target optical head end identifier is for identifying the target optical head end; the controller determines a target management protocol from management protocols supported by the target optical head end; and the controller communicates target information with the target optical head end based on the target optical head end identifier and the target management protocol, where the target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end.
