Fibre-Optic Network 11-3
General Description
General Description
The TRIO fibre optic network has been designed to link up to fifteen Motion
Coordinator modules and membrane keypads. Any number of either type of mod-
ule can be on the network up to the maximum of fifteen but at least one must be
a Motion Coordinator.
The physical connection of the network takes the form of a ring. The intercon-
nections between nodes being made with fibre optic cable.
Example of Network Connection
There are three fixed types of message that can be transmitted round the net-
work. These are:
(i) Character transfer
- a string of characters is transmitted to a specified node e.g. a message to a dis-
play. This is performed with a PRINT# command. Reception of characters to a
Motion Coordinator is carried out with the GET# command.
(ii) Direct variable transfer
- a specified variable on a given Motion Coordinator node can be modified by
another Motion Coordinator node independent of the program running on the
receiving node. This is achieved with the SEND command.
(iii) Keypad offset
- a special message sent to a membrane keypad node to set it into network mode
and to tell it where on the network to direct its key presses to. This message
type is also transmitted by the SEND command.
