发明名称 Scanner interface for the line adapters of a communication controller.
摘要 <p>A line-adapter (1) of a communications controller includes, for scanning the teleprocessing lines (26) connected to it, cyclic scanning means FES (10) exchanging information with the lines (26) through a serial bidirectional link (12) on which data and control informations are partitioned into frames and slots. Since both the FES (10) and the serial link work with their own timings, an interface FESA (11) is provided to adapt the FES scanning to the serial link (12) structure. This FESA (11) includes temporary storage means (36, 38, 40, 42) for storing on the one hand, data and control information transmitted from t (24), and on the other hand, data and control information transmitted from the FES (10) to the LICs through the outbound serial link (22). The access of the FES, the outbound and inbound serial link to the storage means is time-shared and granted by an arbitration logic, according to the relative priorities of operation of said elements within the line-adapter (1) of the communications controller.</p>
