Method of transmitting information between units linked with an information transmission loop.

摘要

The method according to the invention applies to a network containing a series of clusters (1) linked to an information transmission loop (2) and characterised in that a series of frame elements is generated on the loop and circulate thereon synchronously, these frame elements each having a length equal to a sub-multiple of an exposed length of the loop and each containing a token representing an availability of the frame element to receive information; an item of information to be transmitted is subdivided into a series of transaction segments each able to be inserted into a frame element; and the transaction segments are inserted successively with a dispatch cluster address and a destination cluster address into the frame elements each time the frame element appears with a free token. <IMAGE>
