In an exchange system having a three-stage switching network, each second stage switch has an associated AND gate to one input of which a control wire of each of the links terminating on that switch is connected and to the other input of which a control wire of each link originating from that switch is connected. In setting up a connection, switches in the first and third stages are preselected and markings on the control wires of free links extending from these switches are then present. The AND gates are scanned until one is found, having both its inlets marked whereafter a connection through the thus selected second stage switch is completed. The system may include more than three stages. Provision is made for growth up to a maximum of 2000 lines. Reed relay cross-points are used, these being operated over row and column wires 1 and 2 (Fig. la) and being held over their own contacts 5. The convention used for depicting a matrix of such relays is shown in Fig. 2 where point 7 is the commoned outlet of the holding contacts. Trunking.-Each B switch has access to each C switch via one link only. To allow for growth the C switches are formed in two halves, of which the rows in the upper half (see C3 in Fig. 6b) are linked to a group of AB switches while those in the lower half are spare or are linked to a separate group of AB switches. Operation.-On initiation of a call, the subscriber is connected by means not shown, to a register where dialled digits are stored. The register decides the type of feedbridge to be used and applies a marking over wires 18 (Fig. 6b) (outgoing call) or 19 (local call) to the a inlets of these feedbridges. Those bridges that are free, pass the marking on, via their b outlets, to the terminals of a mechanical or electronic selecting device CSS. The latter is started whenever such a marking appears and stops at the first terminal carrying the marking. The corresponding relay RCS, attached to the second bank of CSS, comes up, followed by an RC relay. Each C-stage switch has its own RC and RCS relays (the two halves of C3 each have their own RC relay viz. RC3 and RC33 but they share RCS3) whereby the operation of RCS1 and RC1 for example denotes selection of a C switch, in this case the first one C1 Thereafter, the feedbridges are marked on their c inlets (contact RCS1-2 closed) whereby the free bridges pass the marking on, via their d outlets, to the terminals of another selecting device FSS. The latter selects the first free one and operates a relay, e.g. RF1 which reverts a marking to the e inlet of the selected bridge. The latter extends the marking via outlet f to its column control wire on the C-switch. At the same time, the register brings up a relay, e.g. RMa corresponding to the row of the A switch to which the caller has access whereby a marking is applied to this row's control wire. Test relay RA1 corresponding to the particular A switch follows in order to connect the links originating from this switch to the inputs of AND gates GB each of which is associated with a particular B switch. The relay RC1 (mentioned above) connects the links terminating on the chosen C switch to the other inputs of the gates whereafter a selecting device BSS chooses the first gate having both its inlets connected to free links. The corresponding relay, e.g. RB1 comes up so as to apply operating potential via its contact RB1-2 to the (in effect just chosen) row of switch C1. The cross-point operates and extends the abovementioned marking to the column of the B switch where a cross-point similarly operates due to potential supplied via contact RB1-1. The marking is now extended back to the A stage where the relevant cross-point operates. The common equipment then releases. Local call completion.-The register marks the required inlet as above and also the feedbridge, e.g. SB1 selected for the call. SB1 extends the marking via its outlets i, j to the D stage where a relay, e.g. RD1 responds and connects free CD links to the selecting device CSS. The latter operates as before to select a C switch but in this ease as the particular D switch and its column are already known further selection is not required. The operated RCS relay extends operating potential to the row of the D switch via its contact RCS1-3 where the relevant cross-point operates and extends a marking to a column of the chosen C switch. The remaining operations occur as outlined in the previous paragraph. Incoming call.-An incoming junction, e.g. IJ1 is connected by means not shown to the register which stores incoming digits and then marks the required inlet and also via wires 20 the incoming junctor SC1 relevant to the junction. The marking is extended over outlets i, j and further operations occur as mentioned in the two previous paragraphs. Exchange growth.-Each of the C switches is provided with spare rows, of which only those associated with C3 are shown. When additional AB groups of switches, which are not linked to the AB group shown, are brought into service, these are linked to the spare C rows. Further, each such group includes a group relay c.f. RG1 for the group shown, which is operated whenever an RA relay within its group is energized. The contacts of these RG relays are inserted in the RC relay circuits so as to provide a form of wiper-switching. As is shown by dotted connections 22 and 23 (Fig. 6a) the link test wires and the cross-point operating wires are multipled to the corresponding wires of the existing AB group. |
