Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0361298A1] A central station (SC) is connected in series with the stations by a looped connection comprising a message loop (BM), a clock-signal loop (BH) and a state-control loop (BCE). Each station comprises an interface (I) connected to the various loops of the connection. The message loop routes messages transmitted by the central station destined for at least one interface, the responses from the interfaces, and messages transmitted by the interfaces destined for the central station. The clock-signal loop routes a clock signal transmitted by the central station and the state-control loop routes a state-control signal transmitted by the central station, this signal having a first value for a drive mode of operation and a second value for a reserve mode of operation of the interfaces; the passing from the first to the second value enables the control of a reset to zero of the interfaces. The clock and state-control signals have the same circulation sense, the messages having an inverse circulation sense.
