摘要:
The invention pertains to a configuration for data transfer with a parallel bus system, consisting of address, data and control buses, and with several units (3, 4, 5, 6) interfacing with them. A first control line (1) is used to send an acknowledge signal (Ready), with which one or more units addressed by a first unit acknowledge accesses in access cycles. A second control line (2) is used to detect addressing errors and accesses to non-existant units and to carry to the first unit an answering signal (SR) from the others indicating whether one of the interfaced units was addressed. To do so the answering signal (SR) has dominant and recessive statuses. During an access cycle only addressed units generate a dominant status. The answering signal (SR) is also used for synchronous multipoint access. The invention is used in bus systems.

A decentralized, pipelined, synchronous bus arbitration scheme which allows almost completely fair arbitration between multiple devices competing for the use of a communication bus while allowing the device that last used the bus faster access to the bus if no other device is competing for its use. The arbitration method and apparatus according to the present invention allows all devices that participate in arbitration equal access to the bus with the exception that when bus requests are posted simultaneously the device with the higher priority will always be granted use of the bus first.

A high speed link used to connect peer computer systems (103). The link includes data lines (219) and control lines (221) connected to a device adapter (321) in the I/O system of each of the peer computer systems and logic in each device adapter. The data lines carry data words in parallel; the con- trollines include status lines (203) indicating status of each of the peer systems, arbitration lines (205) for indicating which of the peer systems currently desires to transmit data across the link and whether the link is available, and receiver acquisition lines (207) for specifying which of the peer systems is to receive a transmission and whether the specified system is able to receive the transmission. The logic in the device adapter includes status logic (601, 617) responsive to the status lines for inhibiting a transmission when the receiving peer system is not ready, arbitration logic (801) responsive to the arbitration lines for deciding which peer system may have access to the link at any given time, and receiver acquisition logic (1001) permitting the transmitting device adapter to specify the receiving system, permitting the receiving device adapter to return its address and acknowledge its selection, and permitting the transmitting device adapter to verify the selection and determine whether the receiving system is able to receive data.

Le dispositif est constitué par un ensemble de logiques de commande 12bis distribuées à raison d'une par unité comprenant chacune un circuit de priorité P12 recevant sur une entrée la demande locale RQ;L pour prendre de la maîtrise du bus, l'unité dans laquelle il se trouve et sur les autres entrées l'ensemble des autres demandes externes RQ k émises par les autres unités, la maîtrise du bus étant accordée à l'unité demanderesse dont le circuit de priorité la reconnaît comme étant la plus prioritaire.

The invention pertains to a configuration with several active and passive bus users (MP1, MP2, SP1, SP2), each of which is allocated a memory (S1, S2, SS1, SS2), with its own memory area (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4), where each bus user (MP1, MP2, SP1, SP2) has read access to its own memory area (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) and each active bus user (MP1, MP2) has write access to every memory area (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4). A control line (ML) is provided for sending an indicative signal (SR) which indicates to the active bus users (MP1, MP2) accessing the memory areas (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) whether data in the memory areas (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) have already been written in, as the answering signal (SR) has dominant and recessive statuses and outside of access cycles all bus users produce a dominant status, during a cycle of access to the memory areas (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) only the bus users (MP1, MP2, SP1, SP2) in whose memory areas (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) the data have not yet been written in produce such a signal. The invention is used in automation systems.
