Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the monitor system of this kind in which the number of times of confirmation of an abnormal station is changed dynamically in response to a state in a loop and polling is progressed without receiving a temporal failure of a transmission line. SOLUTION: The number of times of re-transmission of a polling request frame to one terminal station is selected to be once to twice and when no reply is received, the station is stored as an abnormal candidate station, polling is transferred to a succeeding terminal station and when the polling with respect to all terminal stations is circulated and a turn of the abnormal candidate station comes round, polling is sent again only once and when no reply comes, the similar processing is conducted in a succeeding polling cycle, and when the terminal station is regarded to be a faulty station when no reply comes for prescribed number N and the faulty station is excluded from the polling cycle.

In the above-mentioned monitoring system based on polling, whether the terminal station itself has no abnormality and returns a normal polling response frame,
Or, in spite of being able to return, the polling frame may not be able to reach either station due to a temporary failure of the transmission path such as noise or momentary disconnection.

In this case, in order to prevent the instantaneous failure from being mistaken as an abnormality of the terminal station, the monitoring station attempts to retransmit the polling request frame continuously to the terminal station up to a specified number of times. Only when no response can be obtained, the terminal station becomes abnormal.

[0007] However, if the specified number of retransmissions at this time is small, there is a high possibility that a temporary failure in the transmission path cannot be avoided. Conversely, if the number is large, polling of other normal terminal stations is delayed, polling performance is reduced, and real-time state detection is sacrificed. Also,
There is a problem that the influence increases as the number of such abnormal stations increases in the loop.

Means for solving the above-mentioned problems in the present invention, means for avoiding a temporary failure of a transmission line and for minimizing a decrease in polling performance are as follows: The retransmission of the polling request frame is performed once or twice. If the expected response is not obtained, the polling request frame is sent to the next terminal station. This first prevents the polling performance from deteriorating. At this time, the previous terminal station is not regarded as abnormal, but is recognized (stored) as an abnormal candidate station.

(2) When the polling for all the terminal stations has completed one cycle (one polling cycle) and the order of the abnormal candidate stations is first, the retransmission to the abnormal candidate station is performed once again. If the expected response is still not obtained, the same processing is performed in the next polling cycle. (Hereinafter, a series of operations for this abnormal candidate station will be referred to as abnormal station confirmation.) Is regarded as abnormal. At this time, by dynamically calculating the number N of abnormal station confirmations according to the following equation, it is possible to prevent a false recognition due to a temporary failure in the transmission path and to minimize the delay of the terminal station abnormality detection.

(5) For an abnormal station, polling is performed only once for each abnormal station per polling cycle, and the restoration of the state of the abnormal station is monitored. Thus, if the status of the terminal station once regarded as an abnormal station recovers, the terminal station can return to the normal station polling cycle.

When retransmission of polling to the abnormal candidate station is performed in step S6, it is determined in step S7 whether an expected response is obtained. If no response is received, no response is returned in step S8 (abnormal station). It is determined whether the number of times (confirmation) is a predetermined number of times N. If an expected response is not obtained even after performing the number N times, the terminal station is regarded as abnormal and is excluded from the polling cycle (step S9).

As described above, according to the present invention, retransmission of a polling request frame to one terminal station is performed once or twice, and if an expected response is not obtained even after that, the polling request frame is stored as an abnormal candidate station, and polling is performed next. When the polling for all the terminal stations has been completed and the order of the abnormal candidate station has been reached, the polling is re-transmitted once again to the abnormal candidate to confirm the abnormal station, and the expected response is still obtained. If the response is not obtained, the same processing is further performed in the next polling cycle. Even if this abnormality check is performed a predetermined (calculated) N times, the expected response is still not obtained from the terminal station. Since the terminal station is regarded as abnormal for the first time and excluded from the polling cycle, (1) the polling cycle proceeds without being affected by a temporary failure of the transmission line. Can be run.
