Data bus apparatus and control method for effectively compensating fault signal line
A data bus and fault signal technology, which is applied to the redundancy of hardware for data error detection, electrical digital data processing, and response error generation. It can solve the problem that 32 signal lines are invalid, inefficient, and cannot be used to transmit data. And other issues

[0022] One solution to overcome the problem of possible faulty signal lines is to provide two buses for transferring data. Each bus includes a plurality of signal lines. figure 1 Such an arrangement where there are two buses in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM cell is described. Connected to both buses 10 and 20 are m modules, each with a BIU. Data bus 10 is called the main data bus and data bus 20 is called the substitute data bus. When there is no faulty signal line, the data bus 10 is only used to transfer data and the replacement bus 20 is idle. When a faulty signal line is detected in the main data bus 10, the alternate bus 20 is used to transfer data while the main bus remains free.
[0023] In order for this device to work in an ATM unit, each of the m modules 30-1 to 30-m must have two BIUs, the first BIU 40 being connected to the main bus 10 and the second BIU 50 being connected to the main bus 10. Alternative bus 20 connection. Therefore, when the main bus 10 i...
