In the proposals hitherto made for such deviations it has been necessary either to provide the intermediate exchange, over which the deviated connection is taken, with special switches for setting up connections to the desired exchange,1or to withdraw' for this purpose a number of switches and junction lines from the local traffic in the intermediate exchange. Now the object of the invention is in a simple manner to enable connections to be deviated Without withdrawing from the general traffic the switches in the intermediate exchange. This is achieved by roviding in the exchange, over which the eviated connections are passed, a group selecting stage with one or more contact groups, which, by means of selectively connectible devices, are connected to junction lines outgoing in the wanted traffic direction from another group selecting stage in this intermediate exchange.
Preferably the special contact groups are located at the last selecting stage of the'intei-mediate exchange, so that a minimum number of lines for the local traffic ofthe exchange need be sacrificed for. effecting the deviation. By way of example the drawings show a circuit arrangement for systems, in which connections are set up by means of impulse storers.
The Figure 1 shows diagrammatically the setting up of connections in and between three exchanges A, B and C.
In the Figure 2 are shown a preselect-or connected to a subscriber of oneO of these exchanges and a first group selector accessible over this preselector. An auxiliary switch is associated with this first group selector; when the latter is taken into use, the auxiliary switch connects to it an impulse storer, which is shown in detail in Figure 3.
The general working of the whole arrangement will first be described with reference to the Figure 1.` A, B and C are three automatic exchanges, which are interconnected by No. 165,538, and in Germany September 2, 1926. Renewed January 14, 1929.
means of direct junctions, of which the drawing shows the llnes 1,'2, 3, 4,5 and 6. The junction line 1 goes from the exchange A to the exchange B, the junction line 2 goes j from A to C, 3 goes from B to A, 4 from B to C, 5 from C to A and 6 from C to B. When a subscriber, for example Na of the exchange A Wishes to set up a call to a subscriber of the exchange B, a first group selector I.GW 1 is taken into use over the preselector VW 1 and an impulse storer is connected up in known manner. `After the trains of impulses transmitted from the calling. subscibers station have been received bythe' impulse storer, the latter transmits the trains of impulses required for setting up the connection. The first train of impulses raises the first group, selector I GVV'l to the desired level and it then hunts for an idle junction line, for example 1, going to the exchange B. In the exchange B al second group selector II.GW 1 is raised to the level corresponding to the se` lected 1,000 digit. In this level an idle third group selector, whichis not shown, is hunted for, and over it and a final selector the con- 'nection 'is completed in known manner.
In order to set up a connection with a. sub scriber of the exchange C, the first group selector I.GW 1 at A is raised to the third level and for exampie-over the line 2 is seized a second grou-p selector IIGVV 2. If all the junction lines going from the exchange A to C are either engaged or out of order, circuit changes are effected at the impulse storer, whereby the connection is deviated over the exchange B and a junction line going from the latter tothe exchange C. In that case by means of auxiliary devices at the impulse v storer the first group selector IGW 1 is raised to the fifth level and it seizes an idle junction line, forexample 1, Going to the exchange B. At the exchange B the second group selector II.GW 1 is raised to the tenth level, to which are connected the third group selectors, one of which is designated IIILGIV 1 in the drawing. This third group selector is likewise raised to the tent-h level and it hunts for an idle line, which is connected over the intermediate distributing frame ZV 1 to a group of junction lines going to the exchange C. 100
For exafcnple, if the line 4 be free, the second group selector IIGVV 3 is taken into use at the exchange C and over athird group selector connected to the bankv contact ot' this group selector the connection is completed in known manner over a nal selector. group of junction lines going from the exchange A to B should be engaged or out of order, a connection is set up over the intermediate exchange C. The `first group selector IGVV 1 of A is raised to the third level and it takes into use an idle junction line, for example 2, going to C; this line terminates at the second group selector IIG l 2. The latter is raised to the tenth level and seizes a third group selector, for example IILGIV 2, to' the tenth level of which over its intermediate distributing frame ZV 2 is connected the group of junction lines going to the exchange B. If the line 6 shown in Figure 1 be free, then over it is 'seized the second group selector IIGW 4i of the exchange B. The connection to the subscriber of B is then completed in known manner over succeeding third group selector and connector. The trafic is dealt with in a similar mannerwhen faults occur in the groups of junction lines going in the opposite direction or between the exchanges B and C, hence a further description thereof need not be given.
The method of operating the impulse storer for setting up ordinary and deviated connections will now be described. If the subscriber N shown in Figure 2 wishes to set upla call to a subscriber of the exchange C, w o is numbered 37913, he lifts his receiver and so starts up the preselector VW' in known manner and it seizes an idle first group selector. Assuming that the group selector IGl/V is free, the following circuit is closed when the test wiper 7 of the preselector VW reaches the test contact of the first group selectordoattery, winding I and II oit' relay T, wiper 7, winding of relay C, off-normal contact of LGVV, earth.' The relay T closes its contact 8 t, which short circuits the high resistance winding I and so marks the group selector engaged in known manner. rlhe relayr C at its contact 9 c closes a circuit for the rota-ry magnet DM of the hunting switch DW as follows: earth, contacts 9 c, 10 t 1, winding of DM, contact 11 dm, battery, earth. At the same time as the preselector VvV reaches the line of the first group selector IGIV, the relay A is energized over the contacts 12 r and 13 r and the subscribers loop.
t the Contact 14 c the following circuit is established for the relays E and V 1: earth, Contact 14: c, winding of relay E, winding of V 1, battery earth. rThe relay E closes a locking circuit for itself over its contact 15 e, which lies in parallel with Contact 14 c. At the contact 16 c is prepared the circuit for positioning the succeeding switches and over If the the contact 17 v 1 steering current is applied in a preparatory manner.
The hunting switch DW is moved on step by step by its rotary magnet DM until an idle impulse storer, such as that shown in Figure 3, has been found. The following circuit is then established: battery,.windings I and II of relay T l, test wiper 18 of DIV, leads 33, winding of relay B (Figure 3), contact 19 o, earth. The relay T 1 atits contact 10 t l opens the circuit of the rotary magnet DM, thereby arresting the hunting switch DW at contact 20 t 1 it opens the circuit of the slow relay R, which was closed at contact 21 e; at contact 22 t 1 itcloses the impulse receiving circuit for theimpulse storer, which extends over the wi per 23 of DW, lead 24 and over the contact 25 b to the wiper 26 of the side switch S 1. The high resistance winding I of relay T 1 is short circuited by the closing of the contact 27 1, thus in known manner marking engaged the impulse storer. IVhen the wipers 28 and 29 of the hunting switch DIV reach the lines 30 and 31 of the impulse storer, which are bridged by the impulse contact 32 j, the relay A 1 of the first group selector I. GIV is energized over its windings I and II. At its contact 34 a 1 it short circuits the wind ing of relay V 1, relay VI deenergizes but this remains without effect in the present condil tion of the connection.
If the calling subscribers station N now transmits the first train of impulses, the relay A is released at each impulse and its contact 35 a closes the following circuit: earth, conf tacts 35 a 22 t l, wiper 23 ot' D'W, lead 24, contact 25 b, wiper 26 of S 1, rotary magnet Dat of the impulse receiving device at, winding of the slow acting relay V, battery, earth. The rotary magnet Det moves on three steps the wipers 36, 37 and 38 of the receiving device zt, because the first train of impulses transmitted by the subscribers station consists of three impulses. At the end of the first train of impulses the opening of the contact 35 a for some time interrupts the circuit of the relay V, hence the latter falls back and opens the circuit of lthe rotary magnet DS 1 of the side switch S 1, which was closed over the contact 39 c. The magnet Ds 1 moves the wiper 26 onto the second contact. The transmission ot the second train ot impulses consisting of seven impulses energizes seven times the rotary magnet Dt connected to the second contact of the side switch S land ,the magnet brings the wiper 40 of the impulse receiving device if into contact with the seventh contact of the contact row wiped by it. At the end ot the train of impulses the relay V again falls back and the Wiper 26 of S 1 connects the impulse circuit to the third bank contact, to which the rotary magnet Dh is connected. The third train of impulses, comprising 9 impulses, rotates the wiper 41 of the impulse receiving device t onto its ninth cononto its third contact by energizing the rotary magnet De. A
At the end of the last train of impulses,
' when the rotary magnet Ds 1 of S1 falls back, the relay F is energized over the wiper 44.
The relay over its contact f and over the contact 46 z' energizes the relay H, which con- J nects up the rotary magnet Dabs over its contact 47 k and over the interrupter U. The wipers 48 and 49 of the switch ABS are now moved on step by step until the wiper 48 reaches its fourth contact, which over the intermediate distributing frame ZV and over the contact 50 g is connected to the third contact of the contact row of the receivingdevice at wiped over by the wiper 36. The following circuit is now closed for the winding 1 of the relay P: battery, winding I of P, wiper 48, contact 51 of the switch ABS, contact 52 of the intermediate distributing frame ZV, winding 1 of relay N contact 50 g, contact `53 of the intermediate distributing frame, con-v tact 54 and the wiper 36 of the receiving device zt, wiper 55 of the side switch S 2, earth. The purpose of the relay N which is also energized in this circuit will be explained later. The relay P -at its contact 56 p opens the circuito the impulse relay J, whichwas energized over the contact 57 dabs and over the contact 58 k each time the rotary magnet Dabs was operated. Hence-the relay J was energized at each step df the switch ABS and at its Contact 32 j it interrupted the above de-I scribed circuit for the impulse receiving relay A 1 of LGW. In this manner the relay A 1 was released three times and repeated in known manner the received im ulsesto the the group selec-tor. When the relay P operated it at the same closed a locking circuit for its winding II over its contact 59 p and over the contact row wipedl over by the arm 49. The contacts in this row are all interconnected, so
' that it can comprise a contact segment. The
circuit of the rotary magnet Dabs however remains closed over the contact 47 h, hence the wipers 48 and 49 of the switch ABS are moved on step by step until the wiper 49 reachesthe normal position and the Slow acting relay K is energized over the contacts 60 f and 61 Z. Relay K at its contact 62 la closes a circuit for the relay L, which is slightly slow acting. The relay L at its contact 46 Z opens the circuit of the relay H and at Contact 61 Zit opens the circuit of the slow acting relay K. At the contact 47 la. the rotary magnet Dabs is disconnected, while the relay K only opens its contact 62 k after alittle time has elapsed and vwiper 65 of S 2, ,self interrupting contact 66 then causes the relay Lto fall back. During the time the relay L takes to fall back, the following circuit is closed for the rotary magnet Ds 2 ofthe side switch S 2: earth, front contact 63 Z, back contact 64 lc, bank contacts and ds 2, winding of the rotary magnet Ds 2, battery and earth. The rotary magnet D8 2 is energized and brings the wipers 55 and 65 of the side switch S 2 into contact with its second bank contacts. The rotary magnet Ds 2 of the side switch S 2 is now energized over the contact 67 a; and the wiper 65, hencethe side switch reaches the position 3, in which over .the contact 68 y the rotary magnet Ds 2 is again energized. Therefore the wipers 55 and 65 of the side switch S 2 reach the fourth bank contact of their levels.
In the meantime the relay L has fallen back and at its contact 46 Zit has energized the relay H, which again connects up the rotary magnet Dabs. The switch ABS is now moved on step b step until its wiper 48 reaches the sevent contact. In this position the following circuit is closed for the winding I of the relay P: battery, winding I of P, contact 69 of ABS, contact 70 of the receiving switch t, wiper 40 thereof, wiper 55 of the side switch S 2, earth. The relay J has been energized seven times, hence seven impulses have been transmitted to the receiving relay A 1 of the first group selector. It should also be mentioned that after the first group selector IGV has been raised to the desired level, it is rotated over the bank contacts thereof until .in idle succeeding switch (for example ILGV 2 in the exchange C) has been found. In that case the relay P 1 was operated in the following circuit: battery, contact 71 e, windings I and II of P 1, wiper 72 of IGVV, winding of relay C l, of the seized line, earth. The relay P 1 at its contacts 73 p 1 and 74 p 1 closes the impulse and steering circuit for positioning the succeeding group selector over the wipers 75 and 76. Relay P 1 at its conwinding II.l On operating, the-relay C 1 closed the contact 78 c 1 for the purpose to be described hereafter.
Each time the relay A l falls back it closes the following circuit for positioning the succeeding group selector: earth, contacts 79 a 1, 16 e and 73 p 1, wiper 75 and upper speaking lead to the impulse receiving relay of the succeeding group selector. At the same time at each impulse received by the relay Althe contact 34 a 1 removes the short cir cuit from the winding of the relay V 1, which is thenl operated and applies steering current for the succeeding group selector over its'contact 17 o 1 and the contact 74 p 1 as well as over the wiper 76 and the lower speaking lead, the relay V 1 is again short circuited at-the end of each impulse. but being short circuited, it is rendered slow acting and remains in its operated position during the short pause between the individual impulses of current. The positioning of the ot' does not concern the present invention.
When the switch ABS has again completi ed a rotation, the rotary magnet Ds 2 ot' the side switch S 2 is energized over the contacts 63 Z and 64 k, and the side switch is moved on one step. The other trains ot impulses comprising 9, 1 and 3 impulses takes place in similar manner to that just described for the first two trains of impulses and the connection is completed in known manner. At the end of the last train of impulses theside switch S 2 reaches the position 7, in which the relay O is energized over the wiper 55. The relay at its Contact 19 o interrupts the test circuitot the hunting switch DW, thereby causing the relays B and T 1 to fall back. At the same time a circuit for the rotary magnet DS 1 of the side opened the circuit of relay F, which at its' Contact f prevents the relay H being again operated after relay L has fallen back. Upon the operation of the relay O the relay T 1 was likewise released and at its contact 22 t1 it opens the circuit oit' the rotary niagnet of the receiving device oi the impulse storer, at its contact 20 t 1 it closes a circuit tor the relay R and at contact 10 t 1 it prey pares the circuit for the rotarv magnet DM ot the hunting switch DW once more. This circuit has already been opened at contact 9 c when the group selector was positioned,
Abecause the relay C is released when the odnormal contact 7s is opened at'the firststep of this switch, but the blocking circuit of the first group selector is maintained over the resistance )V and the contact m of the impulse circuit of the impulse storer for the trains of impulses to be transmitted.
The arrangement shown in Figures 2 and 3 for deviating calls will now be described in detail. It" all the junction lines going to the exchange C and accessible over the first 'group selector LGW be engaged. the contacts 78 c 1 and the other contacts designated by c 1 belonging to other group selectors having access to the same group of junction lines will have been operated, hence the relay G is operated. This relay-can also be manually operated over a key US, if the cable going to the exchange C is out of order. When the vrelay G operates, it opens the Contact 5() g `and closes the contacts 86 g, 87 g and 88 g. It the subscriber N now wishes to set up a connection with the same subscriber No. 37,913 of the exchange B, then after the receiving 'devices at, t, Il., e, 'c of the impulse storer have been positioned, during the rst rotation of the switch ABS the relay P is not energized until the Contact 89 is reached, the energizing circuit extending over the contact 90 of the intermediate distributing traine ZV, contact 8G g, contact 53 of ZV, contact 54 and wiper 36 of at and over the Wiper 55 ot the side switch S 2. Hence the relay J i transmits tive impulses to the relay A 1 of' the first group selector TCW', raising the latter to the fifth level, and it then hunt., in this level for an idle junction line going to the exchange B (Fig. 1). At the end of the first rotation of the switch ABS, when the side switch S 2 reaches its position 2, the relay X is energize-d over the wiper 37 of the receiving device et and over the contact 87 g. The relay X closes its contact 91 and so prevents the side switch moving beyond its position 2. hence only' at the next rotation of the switch ABS is it arrested on its tenth contact, because this is directly connected to earth over contact 93 n and wipers 38 and 55. Therefore 10 impulses are transmitted, which raise a second group selector HGTV 1 (Figure 1) to the tenth level. At the end of the rotation of ABS the side switch reaches its position 3, owing to its magnet Ds 2 being energize-d over the contacts 63 Z, 64 c and 91 in this position the relay Y is energized over the wiper 38 of the receiving device at over the contactl 88 g. The relay opens its contact 68 i/ and closes. its contact 92 y, thereby preventing the third position being jumped over at the side switch S 2. Now ten impulses are again transmitted, because the relay P is operated only at the last contact of the level wiped over by the wiper 48. Thereby the third group selector IILGV 1 in the eX- change B is raised to the tenth level and it then hunts for an outgoing line connected to a junction line going to the exchange C over the intermediate distributing trame ZV 1 (Fig. 1). The switches in the exchange C are then positioned on the line of the wanted subscriber in accordance with the trains of impulses transmitted by the impulse storer in the manner described above.
A short description will now be given of the method of operation of the relay N mentioned above. It there is only one line idle leading from the first group selector in the desired direction, after the setting of this serotation of the switch ABS the relay N will lector which will be effected on the first rotation of the switch ABS relay C1 associate-d with the seized line will be energized and over its contact 78 C1 andsimilar C1 contacts which were closed on the seizure of the remaining lines leading in this direction will complete a circuit for relay G.
As already described above, on the first be energized over its winding 1 and will complete a locking circuit for itself for its winding 2 over its contact 95N this circuit extending over the contact 96?). At contacts 93a and 94a. the complet-ion of circuits for therelays X and Y is prevented so that no transmission of additional impulses can take place. When all the trains of impulses necessary for the establishment of the connection have "been sent out from the register, relay O will be energized as previously described, and Will open the circuit of the relays B and T1, thereupon at contact 965 the holding circuit of relay vN is opened and it Afalls away. If in the meantime another impulse storer has been connected up over the hunting switch for the establishment of a connection in the same direction, then in this impulse storer contact 50g is opened and contact 86g is closed, so that the relay N cannot operate and the connection is routed through another exchange.
