CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18176715 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a control device in a communication control system that includes a first classification of control device and one or more second classifications of control devices connected to the same bus. The control device has a transmission and reception unit for signal communication and a control unit that disables the transmission and reception unit when an abnormality is detected in the device.

  • The control device is a part of a communication control system.
  • It is the first classification of control device in the system.
  • It is connected to one or more second classifications of control devices via a bus.
  • The control device uses a half-duplex communication method to transmit or receive signals.
  • It has a transmission and reception unit for signal communication.
  • The control unit of the device disables the transmission and reception unit when an abnormality is detected in the device.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various communication control systems where multiple control devices are connected to a common bus. Some potential applications include:

  • Industrial automation systems
  • Network routers and switches
  • Automotive control systems
  • Telecommunication infrastructure

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems in communication control systems:

  • Ensuring reliable communication by detecting and responding to abnormalities in control devices.
  • Preventing the transmission and reception of signals when a control device is experiencing an abnormality.
  • Enhancing the overall system stability and performance by isolating faulty control devices.

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits in communication control systems:

  • Improved system reliability by detecting and responding to abnormalities in control devices.
  • Enhanced fault tolerance by disabling the transmission and reception unit of a faulty control device.
  • Increased system stability and performance by isolating faulty control devices and preventing signal transmission during abnormalities.


Original Abstract Submitted

The control device is the first classification of control device in a communication control system including a first classification of control device and one or more second classifications of control devices connected to the same bus as the first classification of control device. The control device includes a transmission and reception unit that transmits or receives a signal via the bus by a half-duplex communication method, and a control unit that prohibits driving of the transmission and reception unit when the occurrence of an abnormality in the own device is detected.
