Definitions

  • the invention relates to a digital data splitter with switch and automatic termination restoration.
  • the invention relates to improvement in protecting digital data streams using a redundant or protection bearer and the use of amplifiers to split one data stream into two equal streams to accomplish transmission of redundant data via the protection bearer.
  • the system of the invention provides for data protection via a redundant bearer and for means for accessing the redundant bearer on an itinerant basis for increasing available bandwidth by using a partially active transmit splitter incorporating automatic termination restoration that provides for power fail continuity and termination removal.
  • the splitter preferably incorporates an extra input via a second buffer amplifier.
  • the invention provides a digital data splitter with switch and automatic termination restoration, the splitter including a sensing component in series with a main bearer normally terminated by a system termination, a termination element coupled to a control circuit, the control circuit being responsive to the sensing component to connect the termination element to the main bearer a protection bearer for itinerant data and a splitter circuit for selective coupling either the data on the main bearer or from itinerant data to the protection bearer.
  • the sensing component may be an impedance device for sensing current in the terminated main bearer.
  • the sensing component is a sensing resistor.
  • the termination element is preferably a load identical to the termination load employed to terminate the main bearer.
  • the termination element is a termination impedance.
  • the control circuit may include a comparator having its inputs coupled to opposite ends of the sensing component and a retriggerable monostable flip-flop with its clock input coupled to the output of the comparator.
  • a timing network is coupled to a timing input of the monostable flip-flop.
  • An output from the flip-flop is coupled to a relay coil for operating a relay to couple the termination element to the main bearer in the event that termination of the main bearer is lost.
  • the splitter circuit includes two buffers controllable to connect either the signals from the main bearer to the protection bearer when the system termination employed to terminate the main bearer is lost or to apply itinerant data to the protection bearer when the main bearer is normally terminated by the system termination.
  • Figure 1 is a block diagram of a digital data splitter with switch and automatic termination restoration according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the transmit section of a splitter of an embodiment of the invention.
  • Digital data may be presented at input 1 and input 2.
  • the lines terminated by load impedance or system termination RL represent the main bearer.
  • the data line at which "output 2" may be available represents a protection bearer.
  • Data presented at input 1 is coupled to amplifier D3 and to the load impedance RL at output 1.
  • Amplifier D3 is a high impedance buffer amplifier with a disable input.
  • Data presented at input 2 is connected directly to amplifier D4 which is also a high impedance buffer amplifier with a disable input.
  • the outputs of D3 and D4 are together coupled to output 2.
  • Amplifiers D3 and D4 are enabled or disabled by a control input at terminals A and B. Either amplifier D3 or D4 is enabled and when one is enabled the other is disabled. These amplifiers cannot be enabled at the same time but both amplifier D3 and amplifier D4 may be disabled at the same time.
  • Sensing resistor R1 is connected in series with one of the connections from input 1 to output 1 but is located after the connection point A which connects amplifier D3 to the data lines and after the connection point for relay contacts Ka and resistor Rt.
  • Resister R1 senses the current flow through the load RL. This current flow causes a voltage drop across resistor R1 which is detected and amplified by comparator D1.
  • the resulting output logic stream from D1 is connected to the clock input of retriggerable mono- stable flip-flop D2. These pulses keep D2 triggered and the complementary output of flip-flop D2 is kept at logic 0. If the system termination RL is removed then the current flow through R1 ceases. This forces flip-flop D2 to the reset state after the period set by the timing network TN.
  • flip-flop D2 operates relay coil K1 and contact Ka which connects load Rt across the input 1 terminals. This load Rt is effectively connected across the inputs to amplifier D3 and this maintains the system termination in order to prevent distortions at the input to amplifier D3. Reconnection of the system termination RL causes flip-flop D2 to be set and the relay coil K1 and contact Ka to be released thus preventing double termination.
  • Amplifiers D3 and D4 are under the control of logic circuitry (not shown) and the amplifiers determine the content of "output 2" as either data from input 1 (when D3 is enabled and D4 is disabled) or data from input 2 (when D4 is enabled and D3 is disabled).
  • the splitter of the invention is a partially active device which allows itinerant access to the protection bearer (output 2) with automatic termination restoration.
  • the splitter accomplishes the split and protection access control by using high speed, high impedance operational amplifiers with a disable function.
  • the splitter terminates the input to the amplifier D3 for the main bearer access of the protection bearer by the use of a sensing element in series with one line of the main bearer and presents this sensed data to the control circuitry.
  • the control circuitry includes a high speed differential comparator D1 coupled to the clock input of the resettable monostable flip- flop D2.
  • Flip-flop D2 has a timing network TN associated with it which determines how long the system termination is removed before automatic retermination is activated.
  • the automatic retermination is accomplished by high frequency relay K1 connected to the complementary output of the resettable monostable flip-flop D2 to connect a termination equivalent to the system termination across the input to the main bearer access amplifier D3.
  • Figure 1 shows the way in which digital words such as a PILOT word may be applied to the main bearer.
  • the main bearer which extends between input 1 and output 1 consists of two balanced lines. These lines have contacts Kb1 and Kb2 which may be switched by a relay (not shown) between the position shown which allows data to be applied to the main bearer and the other position which allows the PILOT word to be injected onto the main bearer.
  • Input 2 in figure 1 is a balanced input whilst output 2 is an unbalanced output. This unbalanced output may be converted to a balanced output by use of a transformer (not shown).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un séparateur de données numériques. Ledit séparateur de donnnées numériques comprend un support principal et un support de protection. Le support principal est normalement terminé par une terminaison de système, et un composant de détection est connecté au support principal de façon à détecter un courant. Un circuit de commande fonctionne de façon à connecter un élément de terminaison sur le support principal lorsque la terminaison de système est perdue. Un circuit de séparateur fonctionne de façon à connecter les données se trouvant sur le support principal au support de protection lorsque la terminaison de système est perdue, et permet d'appliquer des données itinérantes au support de protection lorsque le support principal est terminé par la terminaison de système.
