Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, and more specifically, to a heterogeneous communication networking device based on FC-AE-ASM and its configuration method. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber Channel (FC) is a channel standard proposed by the American Industrial Standards Institute (ANSI) to meet the rapidly growing demand for high-speed, real-time data transmission. Fiber Channel is a next-generation network and data bus technology, and also a network communication protocol that supports various media and link devices. FC has been applied in many fields, including aerospace, shipbuilding, armored vehicles, missile control, and weapons control. This protocol organically integrates fast and reliable channel technology with flexible and scalable network technology. Fiber Channel (FC) is a high-throughput, low-latency, packet-switched, and connection-oriented network technology that includes a series of application protocols. Among them, Fiber Channel-Avionics Systems Environment (FC-AE) Unsigned Anonymous Message Transmission (FC-AE-ASM) is an important application branch that is currently widely used.

[0003] FC-AE-ASM offers excellent performance but is costly, making it suitable as a backbone network communication device. However, in large-scale industrial control environments, it inevitably encounters the need for various other communication interfaces, such as Ethernet and CAN. This necessitates the conversion between heterogeneous communication interfaces. A typical networking approach involves placing dedicated local conversion devices near each or several Ethernet and CAN interface devices, which are then connected to the FC-AE switch via fiber optic cables. However, this solution requires configuring multiple dedicated conversion devices based on the number of communication nodes, resulting in a large number of conversion devices, high costs, and the need to lay a significant amount of fiber optic cable to connect these devices to the FC-AE switch, further increasing the networking cost. Summary of the Invention

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the internal components of this heterogeneous communication networking device include: an FC-AE-ASM switching board, an Ethernet protocol conversion board, a CAN protocol conversion board, a power supply board, a backplane, and a panel interface unit.

[0045] The FC-AE-ASM switching board, Ethernet protocol conversion board, CAN protocol conversion board, and power supply board are all plugged into the backplane. In this embodiment, there are two power supply boards, which serve as backups for each other, thereby improving the reliability of the device's power supply.

The Ethernet protocol conversion board implements Ethernet protocol to FC-AE-ASM protocol conversion and status detection functions; the Ethernet interface module provides the Ethernet physical layer interface; and the power supply module provides the secondary power required by each functional module.

[0049] The panel interface unit consists of an optical interface board, an electrical interface board, a display board, and a panel structure.

The MCP interface sends the routing table to the FSP interface through the PCIe bus of the FC-AE-ASM switching board, and then the FSP interface configures the routing table for the FC-AE-ASM nodes.

[0054] The MCP interface sends CAN interface parameters to the CPCP interface via the PCIe bus on the backplane; the CPCP interface configures the parameters for each CAN interface separately; among them, the CAN interface parameters are the 29-bit arbitration field identifier of the CAN frame corresponding to the CAN interface.

[0059] Specifically, the FC-AE-ASM switching board has routing management functions. Each Ethernet device, FC device, and CAN device is defined with a globally unique FC number. When configuring routing, the Ethernet device maps IP addresses to FC numbers and stores this mapping relationship in the EPCP in the form of a lookup table. After receiving Ethernet data, the EPCP completes the conversion from IP address to FC number by looking up the table.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, users can access the network management interface through the Ethernet interface of their computer to read and query the parameters of the device provided by this invention, and then perform parameter modification and management.

[0061] The ACP interface of the FC-AE-ASM switch board periodically reads the status information of the power board; the ACP interface of the FC-AE-ASM switch board sends power status information and ACP status information to the FSP interface.

[0062] At the same time, the user's computer periodically initiates a status query, repeatedly performing the following operations:

[0066] In addition, when it is necessary to adjust the configuration parameters of the network device, the user's computer sends the prepared configuration file to the MCP interface through the user's computer's Ethernet interface. The MCP saves the configuration file on its own hard drive, and then the MCP starts the initialization program to update the configuration parameters of the network device according to the above initialization process. This parameter update method does not require shutting down the network device or connecting new data cables, making it convenient to use.

[0067] In summary, this invention provides a heterogeneous communication networking device based on FC-AE-ASM, which consists of an outer layer and an inner layer;

[0068] The outer layer includes: FC-AE-ASM communication interface, Ethernet communication interface, CAN communication interface, power supply interface, and network management interface; communication nodes connect to at least one of the FC-AE-ASM communication interface, Ethernet communication interface, and CAN communication interface to access the network; the power supply interface connects to the power supply to power the network devices; the central control device connects to the network management interface to monitor and modify the configuration parameters of the network devices.
