COMMUNICATION BUS SYSTEM

摘要

A communication bus system is disclosed. More particularly, the communication bus system includes requesting stations that can issue request packets via a bus and an execution station. The execution station receives the request packets and executes commands modifying the same aspect of a state of the execution station in response to request packets from different stations. The execution station keeps information concerning execution of commands which were last executed in response to request packets for all the different requesting stations. The requesting stations can read this information to determine whether the commands corresponding to their packets are executed, even when other requesting stations are also issuing request packets. Preferably, the execution station shows each requesting station only the information about the execution of commands executed to its own request packets.
