- a PAL'S programmable logic array
- PAL'S programmable logic array
- the coding elements can integrate a microprocessor. This has recently made it possible to manage data transmission in the form of a logical ring, described below as "Tokenring-H_".
- the token ring H_ is passed on from active subscribers to active subscribers in a numerically increasing subscriber address sequence with a token telegram.
- the participant with the highest address is an exception; it returns a tolken to the central unit (which has the lowest address) to close the logical ring.
- an active participant receives a token telegram addressed to him from his predecessor, then he can use the token and process message cycles.
- Its predecessor determined on the basis of the entries in the list of active stations (LAS), which was generated according to P0WER-0N in the list Tolken phase and which is continuously updated later when a Tolken telegram is received. If the token sender is not the registered predecessor, the addressee must first assume that an error has occurred and ignores the tolken.
- a request status is received during LAS generation, then it must acknowledge with the status "not ready for the ring". All other telegrams are not processed in the list token state, ie neither acknowledged nor answered. If the software recognizes its own address when capturing the active participants in two token telegrams in the source address, it must assume that a participant with the same address is already in the ring. It must then go into the off-line state and submit a report to the management (central unit).
- the software assumes the ClaimToken-State state after the ListenToken-State or Active-State state if its TimeOut has expired, if no bus activity has been detected for a certain time and it must be assumed that the token has been lost. In this state, an attempt is made to reinitialize the logical ring or to start an initialization.
- the central unit is therefore always able to Check the active number of participants using the list of active stations (LAS) and immediately trigger an alarm if there is a change.
- the number of participants (hose, connector, probe, etc.) is also not limited to a specific number, and the individual participants can be interconnected in any order. It follows from this that only one processor type with the same software is always used for each conceivable connection, which of course considerably simplifies the manufacturing process.
- the individual components are then only loaded with some component-specific data. This data is stored in the EEPROM area of the processor and could be changed at any time if necessary.
- a possible need for change is a change in parameters based on empirical determinations.
- the central unit of the measuring device is thus able to check the active codes at any time.
- the number of medical technology components used is not a software-related restriction subject and can be switched in any order, that is not specified and combination, without the software having to be adjusted or changed. In this way, not only can basic data of the individual medical-technical components be recorded, but expiration data, for example of stored blood, can be stored and evaluated.
- the above measurement and control method can also work in multiplex mode or for control purposes for medical manipulations, e.g. periodic tissue removal, medication applications etc. is suitable.
