Connectors transmitting/receiving an input/output signal as a communication signal, communication harness with the connectors, and the communication system with the connectors

摘要

A connector for communication contains a connecting section, which is connected to communication line; and a network controller, which is connected internally to the connecting section, interprets a designated protocol and controls communication; and a transceiver, which makes possible transmission and receipt on the physical layer of the communication line.

主权项

1. A connector for communication, comprising:
a connecting section to an external device; a communication control section connected to the connecting section; and a transmission/reception section connected to the communication control section and a communication line, for transmitting or receiving a communication signal, wherein the communication control section comprises: a data accepting unit for accepting data to be transmitted via the connecting section; and a data output unit for outputting data indicated by the received communication signal to the connecting section, and the transmission/reception section comprises: a sending unit for sending a communication signal based on the data accepted by the data accepting unit; a detection unit for detecting a communication signal transmitted to the communication line; and a first signal output unit for outputting a communication signal detected by the detection unit to the communication control section.
