MICROCONTROLLER NETWORK Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G05B19/18 G06F9/28 

FIELD: automatics and computer engineering, possible use for engineering distributed systems for program control of technological processes, robots and robot complexes, and also systems for logical control of multilevel logical automatic control systems and broad range of multi-processor systems.

SUBSTANCE: due to regularity of inter-module connections, addition of new column or row of modules does not require insertion of new physical connections. Possibility of such buildup males it possible for network to adapt quickly for realization of more complicated control algorithms. Microcontroller network contains M*N modules of the same type, connected as matrix structure, where N - number of modules in a row of matrix structure of network, M - number of rows, while each module includes program memory block, address register, command register, logical conditions multiplexer, address commutator, synchronization block, elements OR from first to third, compliance vector register, buffer register, first and second decoders of synchronization vertex number, OR elements block, first and second univibrators, delay element, a group of blocks for controlling synchronization is inserted, while each block for controlling synchronization includes trigger of presence of neighbor on the left, trigger of presence of neighbor below, a group of NOT elements, a group of AND elements, OR elements from first to fifth, first and second AND elements, commutator, trigger and launch permission trigger.

EFFECT: expanded range of possible implementation of microcontroller network due to possible simple adding of modules to it.
