Communications control system with a serial communications interface and a parallel communications interface |
摘要 |
A communications control system is disclosed that includes a serial communications interface and a parallel communications interface for coupling a plurality of input/output modules with a control module. The serial communications interface is configured for connecting the plurality of input/output modules to the control module in parallel to transmit information between the plurality of input/output modules and the control module, and the parallel communications interface is configured for separately connecting the plurality of input/output modules to the control module to transmit information between the plurality of input/output modules and the control module, and to transmit information between individual ones of the plurality of input/output modules. The serial communications interface may comprise a multidrop bus, and the parallel communications interface may comprise a cross switch. |

1. A communications control system comprising:
a control module; a plurality of input/output modules coupled with the control module; a serial communications interface configured for connecting the plurality of input/output modules to the control module in parallel, the serial communications interface configured for transmitting information between the plurality of input/output modules and the control module; and a parallel communications interface configured for separately connecting the plurality of input/output modules to the control module, the parallel communications interface configured for transmitting information between the plurality of input/output modules and the control module, and transmitting information between individual ones of the plurality of input/output modules, each one of the plurality of input/output modules identifying itself to the control module using a unique identification upon connecting to the control module, the control module maintaining a routing table with the unique identification for each input/output module connected to the control module, the unique identification comprising at least one of an identifier associated with the input/output module or an identifier associated with a slot that provides registration for the input/output module. |
