SELF-REINFORCED AUTO-EXPANDING NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure to simplify a reconstructing network. SOLUTION: A ring based network includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit selects one of a plurality of inputs and switches an input to a first common communication line. The second circuit selects one of a second plurality of inputs and switches a second input to a second common communication line linked to one of a first plurality of inputs. A detection circuit controls switches of the first and second circuits so as to emulate a communication ring in which nodes are connected in series in a communication loop.
