For this reason, there is a problem that the cost of the digital communication apparatus is increased, and the cost of the entire digital communication system is also increased.
 また、RS-485トランシーバは、能動素子を含んでいることから、相対的に消費電力が大きい。このため、ディジタル通信システムのランニングコストの面からも問題がある。 Also, since the RS-485 transceiver includes an active element, the power consumption is relatively large. For this reason, there is a problem from the viewpoint of running cost of the digital communication system.
 そこで、本発明は、通信インターフェイスを受動素子のみで構成するように工夫して、安価に、かつ、低消費電力で駆動させられる、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット、ディジタル通信装置及びディジタル通信システムを提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, the present invention provides a receiving unit for a digital communication device, a digital communication device, and a digital communication system, which are devised so that the communication interface is composed of only passive elements, and can be driven at low cost and with low power consumption.

発明の実施の形態BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
 以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 (実施形態1)
 図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る模式的なディジタル通信システムの構成図である。図1には、いわゆるマルチドロップ式のディジタル通信システムを示している。この通信システムは、プログラマブルリレーコントローラ(PLC)用ネットワークに代表される有線のI/O制御用通信ネットワーク(以下、単に「ネットワーク」と称する。)10と、ネットワーク10に対して接続されている中央通信装置22と、中央通信装置22に対してマルチポイント接続されていて固有のアドレスが設定される端末装置24~27とを備える。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a schematic digital communication system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a so-called multidrop digital communication system. This communication system includes a wired I / O control communication network (hereinafter simply referred to as “network”) 10 typified by a programmable relay controller (PLC) network, and a center connected to the network 10. A communication device 22 and terminal devices 24 to 27 that are multipoint connected to the central communication device 22 and have unique addresses set therein.
 なお、ネットワーク10は、信号伝送ラインとグランドラインなどの、少なくとも物理的に2本のラインを含むものである。また、図1には、4台の端末装置24~27を例示しているが、端末装置の台数は、これよりも多くても少なくてもよい。 Note that the network 10 includes at least two physical lines such as a signal transmission line and a ground line. FIG. 1 illustrates four terminal devices 24 to 27, but the number of terminal devices may be more or less than this.
 図2は、図1のA点~D点における電圧値を示すグラフである。ここでは、中央通信装置22からネットワーク10に対して出力される信号の電圧値が高い場合をハイレベルの電圧値で示し、当該信号の電圧値が低い場合をローレベルの電圧値で示している。 FIG. 2 is a graph showing voltage values at points A to D in FIG. Here, the case where the voltage value of the signal output from the central communication device 22 to the network 10 is high is indicated by a high level voltage value, and the case where the voltage value of the signal is low is indicated by a low level voltage value. .
 ネットワーク10の電圧降下、及び、端末装置24~27の電圧降下により、A点からD点に向けて徐々に、ハイレベル時の電圧値は低下していく。 Due to the voltage drop of the network 10 and the voltage drops of the terminal devices 24 to 27, the voltage value at the high level gradually decreases from the point A to the point D.
 一例を示すと、A点におけるハイレベル時の電圧値が例えば7.0Vであるとすると、
 B点におけるハイレベル時の電圧値は例えば6.2Vとなり、
 C点におけるハイレベル時の電圧値は例えば5.5Vとなり、
 D点におけるハイレベル時の電圧値は例えば5.0Vとなる、というように、反比例的に低下していくことになる。
As an example, if the voltage value at the high level at point A is 7.0 V, for example,
The voltage value at the high level at point B is, for example, 6.2 V,
The voltage value at the high level at point C is, for example, 5.5V,
The voltage value at the high level at the point D is, for example, 5.0 V, and decreases in an inverse proportion.
 図3は、図1の中央通信装置22及び端末装置24~27に設けられているディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300の回路構成図である。図3に示すように、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300には、ネットワーク10の信号伝送ラインが接続される入力端310が設けられている。 FIG. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram of the digital communication device receiving unit 300 provided in the central communication device 22 and the terminal devices 24 to 27 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the digital communication device receiving unit 300 is provided with an input terminal 310 to which a signal transmission line of the network 10 is connected.
 入力端310には、例えば、ハイパスフィルターとして機能する容量素子320が直列接続されている。容量素子320の条件は、入力電圧の周波数に応じて適宜決定すればよい。なお、容量素子320は、ネットワーク10のグランドライン側の入力端(図示せず)に直列接続してもよいし、信号伝送ライン側の入力端310とグランドライン側の入力端との双方に容量素子をそれぞれ直列接続してもよい。 For example, a capacitive element 320 that functions as a high-pass filter is connected to the input terminal 310 in series. The condition of the capacitor 320 may be determined as appropriate according to the frequency of the input voltage. The capacitive element 320 may be connected in series to an input end (not shown) on the ground line side of the network 10, or may be connected to both the input end 310 on the signal transmission line side and the input end on the ground line side. Each element may be connected in series.
 容量素子320には、第1のダイオード群330が順方向に直列接続されて、かつ、第2のダイオード群340が逆方向に直列接続されている。第1のダイオード群330は、入力端310によって入力された電圧を分圧することによって、主として、図3内のb点の電圧値をハイレベルとするものである。 A first diode group 330 is connected in series to the capacitive element 320 in the forward direction, and a second diode group 340 is connected in series in the reverse direction. The first diode group 330 divides the voltage input by the input terminal 310 to mainly set the voltage value at point b in FIG. 3 to a high level.
 一方、第2のダイオード群340は、第1のダイオード群330が少なからず容量を有しているので、その容量に蓄電された電荷を、入力端310側に向けて電流として流すことによって、図3内のb点の電圧をローレベルに戻すものである。 On the other hand, in the second diode group 340, since the first diode group 330 has a considerable capacity, the charge stored in the capacity is caused to flow as a current toward the input terminal 310 side, so that The voltage at point b in 3 is returned to a low level.
 本実施形態では、第1のダイオード群330としては、例えば5つのダイオードを備えている様子を示している。第2のダイオード群340としては、例えば2つのダイオードを備えている様子を示している。もっとも、第1のダイオード群330及び第2のダイオード群340の各ダイオード数は例示であり、これらに限定されるものではない。 In the present embodiment, as the first diode group 330, for example, five diodes are shown. For example, the second diode group 340 includes two diodes. However, the numbers of diodes in the first diode group 330 and the second diode group 340 are examples, and are not limited thereto.
 各ダイオード331~335,341,342は、同一性能のものとしてもよいし、そうでなくてもよい。ただし、後述するように、各ダイオード331~335,341,342の条件は、入力端310によって入力された電圧を各ダイオード331~335によって分圧できるようにすることと、ダイオード332からダイオード335に向けて電流が流れるようにすることと、ダイオード341からダイオード342に向けて電流が流れるようにすることとが必須である。 The diodes 331 to 335, 341, and 342 may or may not have the same performance. However, as will be described later, the conditions of the diodes 331 to 335, 341, and 342 are that the voltage input by the input terminal 310 can be divided by the diodes 331 to 335, and the diode 332 to the diode 335 are divided. It is essential to allow a current to flow toward the diode and to allow a current to flow from the diode 341 toward the diode 342.
 具体的には、例えば、上記分圧の条件としては、各ダイオード331~335は、それぞれ、例えば1Vの電圧降下を生じさせるものとすればよい。そうすると、図3内のb点での電圧値は、a点の電圧値が5V以上の場合には、ダイオード331~335によって1:4に分圧されるので4Vに固定される。 Specifically, for example, as the above-mentioned voltage dividing condition, each of the diodes 331 to 335 may cause a voltage drop of 1 V, for example. Then, the voltage value at the point b in FIG. 3 is fixed to 4V because it is divided by the diodes 331 to 335 to 1: 4 when the voltage value at the point a is 5V or more.
 第1のダイオード群330を構成するダイオード331,332間と、第2のダイオード群340を構成するダイオード341,342間とは、結合線350によって結ばれている。また、第1のダイオード群330と第2のダイオード群340とは、ともに、ダイオード335,341を通じて、グランドに接地されている。 The diodes 331 and 332 constituting the first diode group 330 and the diodes 341 and 342 constituting the second diode group 340 are connected by a coupling line 350. The first diode group 330 and the second diode group 340 are both grounded through the diodes 335 and 341.
 なお、図3の場合には、結合線350をダイオード331,332間に接続しているが、例えば結合線350をダイオード332,333間に接続してもよい。この場合、仮に、ダイオード331~335を同一条件のものから構成しているのであれば、上記例のa点の電圧値が5V以上の場合には、ダイオード331~335によって2:3に分圧されるので3Vに固定される。 In the case of FIG. 3, the coupling line 350 is connected between the diodes 331 and 332, but the coupling line 350 may be connected between the diodes 332 and 333, for example. In this case, if the diodes 331 to 335 are composed of the same conditions, the voltage is divided by 2: 3 by the diodes 331 to 335 when the voltage value at the point a in the above example is 5 V or more. Therefore, it is fixed at 3V.
 また、結合線350には、出力端370が接続されている。出力端370には、端末装置24等の内部に設けられているシュミットトリガ付きバッファなど、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300の外部に設けられている入力バッファ360が接続されている。 Also, an output end 370 is connected to the coupling line 350. The output terminal 370 is connected to an input buffer 360 provided outside the digital communication device receiving unit 300, such as a buffer with a Schmitt trigger provided inside the terminal device 24 or the like.
 つぎに、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300の動作について説明する。ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300は、ネットワーク10から供給される信号の電圧を入力端310で受ける。この入力電圧値がハイレベルのときには、ダイオード335の下流が接地されているため、第1のダイオード群330に電流が流れる。 Next, the operation of the digital communication device receiving unit 300 will be described. The digital communication device receiving unit 300 receives the voltage of the signal supplied from the network 10 at the input terminal 310. When the input voltage value is at a high level, a current flows through the first diode group 330 because the downstream side of the diode 335 is grounded.
 その後、入力端310で受けた入力電圧の値がローレベルになったときには、第1のダイオード群330の容量に蓄電された電荷は、入力端310が相対的に低電圧となるので、電流となって第2のダイオード群340に流れる。 After that, when the value of the input voltage received at the input terminal 310 becomes a low level, the charge stored in the capacitor of the first diode group 330 becomes relatively low voltage at the input terminal 310, so that And flows to the second diode group 340.
 図4は、図3のa点及びb点での電圧値を示すグラフである。ここでは、端末装置24に内蔵されているディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300の例を示しており、a点の入力電圧が外来誘導や反射波などによる変形により5V以上となった場合を示している。また、図4の説明では、各ダイオード331~335が1Vの電圧降下を生じさせるものとする。 FIG. 4 is a graph showing voltage values at points a and b in FIG. Here, an example of the receiving unit 300 for a digital communication device built in the terminal device 24 is shown, and the case where the input voltage at point a becomes 5 V or more due to deformation due to external induction or reflected waves is shown. . In the description of FIG. 4, it is assumed that each of the diodes 331 to 335 causes a voltage drop of 1V.
 入力端310で受ける入力電圧の値がハイレベルのとき、すなわち、a点の電圧値が5V以上のときには、b点の電圧値は、第1のダイオード群330の電圧降下によって4Vとなる。このため、4Vよりも低電圧である電圧値を、入力バッファ360のハイレベル側スレッシュホールド(H)とすればよい。 When the value of the input voltage received at the input terminal 310 is at a high level, that is, when the voltage value at the point a is 5V or more, the voltage value at the point b becomes 4V due to the voltage drop of the first diode group 330. For this reason, a voltage value lower than 4 V may be used as the high level side threshold (H) of the input buffer 360.
 一般的には、この電圧値は3.5Vとされている。同様に、入力バッファ360のローレベル側スレッシュホールド(L)を決定すればよく、一般的には、この電圧値は0.8Vとされている。 Generally, this voltage value is 3.5V. Similarly, the low level threshold (L) of the input buffer 360 may be determined, and this voltage value is generally set to 0.8V.
 入力端310に対して、例えば10Vといった高電圧の信号が入力された場合であっても、各ダイオード331~335,341~342がクリッパとして機能することになる。このため、高電圧値がクリップされるので、入力バッファ360の破壊は防止できる。 Even when a high voltage signal such as 10 V is input to the input terminal 310, the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342 function as clippers. For this reason, since the high voltage value is clipped, the destruction of the input buffer 360 can be prevented.
 なお、比較例的に述べると、入力端310によって入力された入力電圧を分圧するのであれば、必ずしも各ダイオード331~335,341~342を用いる必要はない。当業者であれば、これらに代えて、それらのすべてを抵抗素子とすることが一般的であろう。 As a comparative example, the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342 are not necessarily used as long as the input voltage input by the input terminal 310 is divided. A person skilled in the art would generally replace all of them as resistance elements.
 しかし、上記のように、入力端310によって入力された入力電圧が10Vという高電圧の場合には、各ダイオード331~335,341~342に代えて、それらのすべてを抵抗素子とすると、入力バッファ360に8Vといった破壊的な電圧が印加されることになるという問題がある。 However, as described above, when the input voltage input by the input terminal 310 is a high voltage of 10 V, if all of them are used as resistance elements instead of the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342, the input buffer There is a problem that a destructive voltage such as 8V is applied to 360.
 また、各ダイオード331~335,341~342に代えて、それらのすべてを抵抗素子とすると、ネットワーク10に接続される端末装置の台数が増加するにつれて、各抵抗素子での電圧降下量が嵩むことになる。したがって、中央通信装置22から物理的に遠方に位置する端末装置の入力バッファ360の入力値は、その閾値を下回り、通信不能となる。 Further, if all of the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342 are used as resistance elements, the amount of voltage drop at each resistance element increases as the number of terminal devices connected to the network 10 increases. become. Therefore, the input value of the input buffer 360 of the terminal device physically located far from the central communication device 22 falls below the threshold value, and communication is impossible.
 換言すれば、入力端310によって入力された入力電圧を分圧するために、各ダイオード331~335,341~342に代えて、それらのすべてを抵抗素子とすると、ディジタル通信システム全体として通信不能とならないようにするためには、ネットワーク10に接続される端末装置の台数が制約されるという問題もある。 In other words, in order to divide the input voltage input by the input terminal 310, instead of the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342, all of them are resistance elements, so that the communication as a whole of the digital communication system is not disabled. In order to do so, there is a problem that the number of terminal devices connected to the network 10 is limited.
 そこで、本実施形態では、入力端310によって入力された入力電圧を分圧するために抵抗素子を用いるのではなく、各ダイオード331~335,341~342を用いて、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300を構成している。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, instead of using a resistive element to divide the input voltage input by the input terminal 310, each of the diodes 331 to 335 and 341 to 342 is used to configure the digital communication device receiving unit 300. It is composed.
 もっとも、図3に示すディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300において、抵抗素子を用いるべきでないということを言及してはいない点に留意されたい。実施形態2で後述するように、第1及び第2のダイオード330,340に対して、一定条件下で抵抗素子を付加すると種々のメリットがある。 However, it should be noted that the digital communication device receiving unit 300 shown in FIG. 3 does not mention that a resistance element should not be used. As will be described later in the second embodiment, adding a resistance element under a certain condition to the first and second diodes 330 and 340 has various advantages.
 また、図3の回路構成図から明らかなように、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300は、そのすべての素子が受動素子で構成されている点は、本実施形態のユニークな点である。このため、従来のように、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300は高価とならないし、また、その消費電力は小さくて済む。 As is clear from the circuit configuration diagram of FIG. 3, the digital communication device receiving unit 300 is unique in this embodiment in that all of the elements are composed of passive elements. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the digital communication device receiving unit 300 does not become expensive, and its power consumption is small.
 (実施形態2)
 図5は、本発明の実施形態2に係るディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300回路構成図であり、図3に対応するものである。本実施形態では、端末装置の台数が増加した場合、或いは、ネットワーク10の配線長が増加した場合に好適なディジタル通信システムについて説明する。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 is a circuit configuration diagram of the receiving unit 300 for a digital communication apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and corresponds to FIG. In the present embodiment, a digital communication system that is suitable when the number of terminal devices increases or when the wiring length of the network 10 increases will be described.
 図5には、図3に示した第1のダイオード群330に対して抵抗336を付加し、かつ、第2のダイオード群340に対して抵抗346を付加している。また、第1のダイオード群330,第2のダイオード群340におけるダイオードの数は、例示ではあるが、それぞれ2つとしている。 In FIG. 5, a resistor 336 is added to the first diode group 330 shown in FIG. 3, and a resistor 346 is added to the second diode group 340. In addition, the number of diodes in the first diode group 330 and the second diode group 340 is two, although illustrated.
 抵抗336,346は、それぞれ、数kΩ~数MΩの抵抗値のものを適宜選択すればよい。具体的には、抵抗336,346の抵抗値は、ディジタル通信システムの使用環境におけるノイズの強さと、ディジタル通信システムを動作させるためにディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に必要な最低電流値とに基づいて選択すればよい。 The resistors 336 and 346 may be appropriately selected from resistance values of several kΩ to several MΩ. Specifically, the resistance values of the resistors 336 and 346 are based on the noise intensity in the usage environment of the digital communication system and the minimum current value necessary for the digital communication device receiving unit 300 to operate the digital communication system. To select.
 また、各ダイオード332等は、入力端310で受ける信号の周波数に十分対応できるものを選択すればよい。この種のダイオードとしては、例えば、ショットキーバリアダイオードを選択することができるが、これに限定されるものではない。 In addition, each diode 332 and the like may be selected so as to sufficiently correspond to the frequency of the signal received at the input terminal 310. As this kind of diode, for example, a Schottky barrier diode can be selected, but is not limited thereto.
 なお、図5では、抵抗336,346を、各々、ダイオード332,342の下流に接続している状態を示しているが、抵抗336,346は、ダイオード332,342の上流に接続してもよい。また、第1及び第2のダイオード群330,340に対して、抵抗336,346の双方を付加するのではなく、これらのうち、いずれか一方のみを付加してもよい。 5 shows a state in which the resistors 336 and 346 are connected downstream of the diodes 332 and 342, respectively, but the resistors 336 and 346 may be connected upstream of the diodes 332 and 342. . Further, instead of adding both the resistors 336 and 346 to the first and second diode groups 330 and 340, only one of them may be added.
 ここで、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に対して抵抗336のみ付加した場合のメリットとしては、以下のものがあげられる。すなわち、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300がネットワーク10から供給される信号の電圧を入力端310で受けた場合、入力電圧値がハイレベルのときには、既述のように、当該電圧に基づく電流がディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300の第1のダイオード群330に流れる。 Here, as the merit when only the resistor 336 is added to the digital communication device receiving unit 300, the following can be cited. That is, when the digital communication device receiving unit 300 receives the voltage of the signal supplied from the network 10 at the input terminal 310, when the input voltage value is at a high level, the current based on the voltage is digital as described above. The current flows to the first diode group 330 of the communication device receiving unit 300.
 しかし、第1のダイオード群330に流れる電流は、抵抗336の抵抗値にもよるが、相対的にみれば流れにくい。なぜなら、抵抗336を付加したことによって、第1のダイオード群330に電流が流れにくくなるためである。 However, although the current flowing through the first diode group 330 depends on the resistance value of the resistor 336, it is difficult to flow when viewed relatively. This is because the addition of the resistor 336 makes it difficult for current to flow through the first diode group 330.
 また、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に対して抵抗336のみ付加すると、抵抗336の抵抗値を適宜選択することによって、b点で得られるハイレベルの電圧値を、図3の場合と同様もしくは高い値とすることができる。 Further, if only the resistor 336 is added to the digital communication device receiving unit 300, the high level voltage value obtained at point b can be set to be the same as or higher than that in FIG. 3 by appropriately selecting the resistance value of the resistor 336. Can be a value.
 したがって、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に対して抵抗336のみ付加した場合のメリットとしては、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300がネットワーク10を伝播する信号波形から吸収するエネルギーを、図3のものに比して相対的に小さくできるといえる。また、この実施形態では、a点に破壊的ノイズが供給されたとしても、b点に到達するエネルギーは極めて小さくなる。したがって、上記破壊的ノイズによる破壊は、バッファ360に標準的に装備されている保護回路により回避される。 Therefore, as a merit when only the resistor 336 is added to the digital communication device receiving unit 300, the energy absorbed by the digital communication device receiving unit 300 from the signal waveform propagating through the network 10 is compared with that in FIG. It can be said that it can be made relatively small. In this embodiment, even if destructive noise is supplied to the point a, the energy reaching the point b is extremely small. Therefore, the destruction due to the destructive noise is avoided by a protection circuit that is provided as standard in the buffer 360.
 一方、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に対して抵抗346のみ付加した場合のメリットも、抵抗336を設けた場合と同様である。すなわち、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300がネットワーク10から供給される信号の電圧を入力端310で受けた場合、入力電圧値がローレベルのときに、第2のダイオード群340に流れる電流が少なくなるので、ネットワーク10を伝播する信号波形への影響を少なくすることなどが可能となる。 On the other hand, the merit when only the resistor 346 is added to the digital communication device receiving unit 300 is the same as that when the resistor 336 is provided. That is, when the digital communication device receiving unit 300 receives the voltage of the signal supplied from the network 10 at the input terminal 310, the current flowing through the second diode group 340 decreases when the input voltage value is low. Therefore, the influence on the signal waveform propagating through the network 10 can be reduced.
 また、ディジタル通信装置用受信ユニット300に対して抵抗336,346の双方を付加した場合のメリットとしては、上記の各メリットに加えて、ネットワーク10を伝播する信号波形へのエネルギー変動をハイレベル時とローレベル時共に微量とすることができるので、ネットワーク10を伝播する信号波形を変形させるような影響を与えにくいというメリットがある。特に、抵抗336,346の抵抗値を近似させた場合には、当該影響をより抑えることが可能となる。 Further, as a merit when both resistors 336 and 346 are added to the receiving unit 300 for the digital communication apparatus, in addition to the above merits, the energy fluctuation to the signal waveform propagating through the network 10 is high level. Therefore, there is a merit that it is difficult to affect the signal waveform propagating through the network 10 at a low level. In particular, when the resistance values of the resistors 336 and 346 are approximated, the influence can be further suppressed.
