摘要:
Processed results are received when processors make compatible computations on data of a common object. A computation command signal is generated and fed to the processors in response to a start signal from any one of the processors so that the processors can make computations with different operation timings. Then, the results of the computations made by the processors are compared with each other. Thus, apparatus capable of small size, high performance and safety at the same time can be achieved by the above construction using the processors.

The information processor includes a device communication performance management module. The device communication performance management module includes: a communication performance evaluation unit that measures and evaluates the communication performance with respect to a device to be used when it is used by a device-use application; a device naming rule management unit that manages a naming rule for incorporating the communication performance evaluated by the communication performance evaluation unit into the name of the device file for a device as the target of evaluation; and a device file management unit that creates a device file for a device as the target of evaluation in accordance with the naming rule based on the result of communication performance evaluation. The result of communication performance evaluation by the communication performance evaluation unit is incorporated into the name of a device file and the evaluation result is thereby provided to a device-use application.

Without being restrained to a specific bus scheme, kinds of I/O modules connected to a processing module can be discriminated. Module exclusive selection parts respectively provided in I/O modules connected in a stacked form to a processing module via connectors judge only a module select signal input from terminals in the same position on processing module side connectors to be active. Based thereon, identification information of its own I/O module is output to a predetermined terminal on the connector. Without being restrained to a specific bus scheme, therefore, the processing module can acquire identification information of the I/O modules from a predetermined terminal on a connector. One I/O module can be selected by a simple module selection circuit scheme of inputting module select signals successively output from the processing module to terminals in the same position on processing module side connectors according to the connection order of the I/O modules.

A self-diagnosis system of a processor capable of realizing a sufficiently high processing ability for control tasks is provided without deteriorating reliability of safety controls even in complex diagnostic techniques. The self-diagnosis system is equipped with a diagnostic target area allocator for allocating a non-active area within a memory as a diagnosis-ready area, which is not used in a control task under execution by a main processor in an independent manner from the main processor; and a diagnostic executor for executing a diagnosis based upon a predetermined sequence in an independent manner from the main processor. In the self-diagnosis system, a diagnostic target area segmented from the diagnosis-ready area is selected, and a diagnosis of the selected diagnostic target area is carried out in each of diagnostic cycles by the diagnostic executor.

A processing module to use for a processing system having a plurality of processing modules connected via a communication line is comprising mounting position information for the processing module in the communication line; a unique logical address to indicate the processing module; a database to correspond with a physical address of the processing module in the communication line; a position identification device to identify the mounting position information in the communication line of the processing module; a unique/physical address conversion device to fetch the physical address corresponding to the unique logical address from the database using a data packet having the unique logical address as a destination; and a position/physical address conversion device for searching for the physical address from the mounting position information.
摘要:
A computer system, being a stack bus system in which a plurality of computer modules are stacked and connected to one another and being capable of automatically matching and allocating bus resources such as clocks and interrupts, is provided. In the computer system including one system module and n peripheral modules, each peripheral module includes an interrupt selector, a clock selector, an arbitration signal selector, a resource decision unit, and a position identification unit. The position identification unit cooperates with a position configuration unit present in the system module to identify a position of the module, which includes the position identification unit, in the computer system, and autonomously decides bus resources used by the module. By allowing the interrupt selector, the clock selector, and the arbitration signal selector to select and use the decided bus resources, each peripheral module can match and configure the bus resources in the computer system.

The invention contemplates to improve versatility or flexibility of a system for managing a controller. In a data format converter, a computer constitutes reception unit for acquiring input information containing a program, etc, of a first data format and outputted from a programmer unit, direction extract unit for extracting a convert direction of a data format contained in the input information so acquired, data conversion rule acquisition unit for acquiring a conversion rule of a data format corresponding to the convert direction so extracted and convert execution means for converting the program, etc, of the first data format to a second data format. The program, etc, of the second data format converted is outputted to the controller. The program, etc, can be created in this way in an arbitrary data format different from the data format of the controller.

An initialization data generator includes a task database in which task descriptions for initializing a computer are specified related with task IDs and an initialization database in which initialization data descriptions for initializing a computer are stored related with initialization data IDs. The initialization data generator takes input of the computer ID of a computer to be initialized and task data, reads task descriptions and initialization data descriptions according to task ordering related with the task data from the task database and the initialization database, based on the task IDs, task ordering, and the initialization data IDs for software modules which are loaded into the computer to be initialized by the tasks corresponding to the task IDs, specified in the task data, and generates and transfers initialization data to the computer to be initialized, thereby initializing the computer to be initialized.
