Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a communication method and device for multiple nodes on an RS485 bus. Background Art

[0002] RS485 bus is the internal communication standard between programmable logic controllers commonly used in industrial environments. It adopts half-duplex working mode and supports multi-point data communication. The protocol based on RS485 bus is mainly question-and-answer polling protocol.

[0003] The half-duplex communication mode requires that there can only be one data transmitter at the same time, and other nodes can only serve as receivers. This results in that in the RS485 communication including multiple nodes, if the slave node wants to send information to the host node or other slave nodes, it can only wait for the host to send query information to each slave node one by one through polling. Each query requires sending query information back and forth between the slave node and the host node. When the query finds that the slave node has information transmission and reception requirements, the host receives or forwards the relevant message, resulting in a lot of time waste, poor data real-time performance and slow response time.

[0004] In view of this, overcoming the defects of the prior art is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of this technology. Summary of the invention

[0019] When a designated slave node needs to be removed, the information of the designated slave node to be removed is removed from the preset order, and the linked list code of the upper-level slave node and the linked list code of the next-level slave node corresponding to the designated slave node are synchronously changed.

[0020] Preferably, the transfer message includes: an address code of a node that sends the transfer message and a linked list code of the node that sends the transfer message.

[0021] Preferably, the step of writing the linked list code of the communication node into a new transfer message and sending the new transfer message to all other nodes further includes:

[0022] Each time the host node receives the new transfer message, it obtains the address code of the current communication node according to the address code in the new transfer message, and obtains the transfer progress of the bus usage rights between each slave node according to the address code of the current communication node and the preset order.

[0023] Preferably, the step of writing the linked list code of the communication node into a new transfer message and sending the new transfer message to all other nodes further includes:

[0024] The timing starts each time the host node obtains the new transfer message;

[0025] If the host node obtains the next transfer message within the preset timeout period, it is determined that the communication node corresponding to the next transfer message is normal, and the host node restarts the timing;

[0026] If the host node fails to obtain the next transfer message within the preset timeout period, it is determined that the communication node corresponding to the linked list code in the new transfer message is faulty;

[0027] The host node acquires the next slave node after the communication node according to the preset sequence, and transfers the bus use right to the next slave node.

[0028] Preferably, the host node acquires the next slave node after the communication node according to the preset order, and transfers the bus use right to the next slave node, specifically including:

[0037] The present invention provides a communication method and device for multiple nodes on an RS485 bus. A linked list code is configured on each node according to a preset order. A host node writes its own linked list code into a transfer message, and sends all the transfer messages to all slave nodes. A slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the transfer message obtains the bus use right and serves as a communication node. After the communication node completes its own communication needs, the linked list code of the communication node is written into a new transfer message, and the new transfer message is sent to all other nodes to obtain a new communication node. The above steps are repeated until the communication needs of all slave nodes are completed. By transferring the bus use right to each slave node, the slave node is used as a temporary host to directly send and receive information without relying on the host node for query and forwarding, which greatly improves the real-time performance and response speed of data.

[0051] In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] Embodiment 1:

[0053] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a communication method for multiple nodes on an RS485 bus, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method flow includes:

[0054] In step 101, a linked list code is configured on each node according to a preset order, wherein the linked list code is an address code of a node that is to obtain the right to use the bus next time.

[0055] In this embodiment, the node represents a host node and a slave node, and the bus usage right refers to the right to use the RS485 bus. No matter whether the host node or the slave node obtains the bus usage right, the node can be regarded as a temporary host and has the function of actively sending and receiving data with other nodes.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to realize the function of sending and receiving communication data between each node, the bus usage rights are transferred between each node, thereby realizing the sending and receiving of communication data of each node. The preset order is the order of transferring the bus usage rights between each node. The preset order is set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the acquisition of information of each node and the transfer of bus usage rights, each node is configured with an address code, which is the unique identifier of each node. Each node is also configured with a linked list code, which is: the address code of the next node of the node in the preset order.

[0058] In step 102, the master node writes its own linked list code into the right transfer message, and sends all the right transfer messages to all slave nodes.

[0059] In this embodiment, in the initial stage, each node needs to be initialized first, so that each node enters the preparation state, and the preparation state includes: establishing and initializing various functional parameters of each node, allowing each slave node to enter the message receiving state, and the initial bus use right is transferred from the host node. The linked list code of the host node corresponds to the address code of the next slave node of the host node in the preset order. The transfer message is used to transmit the transfer information of the bus use right to each node, and the transfer message has the following properties:

[0060] (1) Group call nature, that is, when a node sends a transfer message, all nodes except this node (including the host node) will receive the transfer message.

[0061] (2) Small data volume, that is, the transfer message occupies a small amount of bus communication bandwidth. Compared with the existing communication data transmission and reception between nodes through polling, the data volume of the message required for polling is much larger than the transfer message in this embodiment. At the same time, the data volume of the transfer message is relatively smaller, so that there is more space for the transmission and reception of communication data between each node.

[0062] In this embodiment, the transfer message includes the address code of the current communication node and the linked list code of the node that sends the transfer message. Take the following specific transfer message as an example: 0xEB 0x0A 0x0B; where 0xEB is the message data header, 0x0A is the address code of the node that sends the transfer message, and 0x0B is the linked list code of the node that sends the transfer message.

[0063] In step 103, among all the slave nodes that have obtained the transfer message, the slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the transfer message obtains the right to use the bus and serves as a communication node. After the communication node completes its own communication needs, it writes the linked list code of the communication node into a new transfer message, and sends the new transfer message to all other nodes. The slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the new transfer message is used as a new communication node to transfer the bus use right to the corresponding nodes in turn.

[0064] The above step 103 is repeated until the communication requirements of all slave nodes are completely processed.

[0065] In this embodiment, after each node receives the transfer message, it compares the linked list code in the transfer message with its own address code. Since the address code is unique, there is only one node among all the nodes whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the current transfer message. When the address code of the node is consistent with the linked list code in the transfer message, the node automatically obtains the right to use the bus, that is, the communication node.

[0066] In this embodiment, since some nodes have communication needs and need to send and receive communication data to other nodes, while some nodes do not have communication needs and do not need to send and receive communication data to other nodes, the communication configuration is used to record the above information, namely: whether it is necessary to send and receive communication data, if necessary, it also includes the specific content of the communication data, and the node object that needs to transmit data. The processing includes: when the node needs to send and receive communication data, the corresponding communication data is transmitted, and when the node does not need to send and receive communication data, there is no need to transmit communication data. When the communication demand of the node is processed, the bus use right can be transferred to the next node in a preset order, so it is necessary to generate a new transfer message and send it to all other nodes, and this cycle is repeated until all nodes have been transferred the bus use right to ensure that the communication data required by all nodes are processed and received.

[0067] If the existing slave nodes want to send information to the host node or other slave nodes, they can only wait for the host to send query information to each slave node one by one through polling. Each query requires sending query information back and forth between the slave node and the host node. When the slave node is found to have information transmission and reception requirements, the host receives or forwards related messages, resulting in a large amount of time waste, resulting in poor real-time data and slow response time. In the method provided in this embodiment, the bus use right is transferred between each slave node. When a slave node with information transmission and reception requirements obtains the bus use right, the slave node can directly transmit and receive information as a temporary host without relying on the host node for query and forwarding, which greatly improves the real-time data and response speed.

[0068] In actual application scenarios, when the transfer message is sent to all other nodes, the transfer messages are received by each node at different times. In the process of sending a round of transfer messages, it may happen that a slave node has received the transfer message first and obtained the right to use the bus and become a communication node, but other slave nodes have not received the transfer message. At this time, if the communication node directly sends and receives communication data with the slave node that has not received the transfer message, the transfer message and communication data will exist on the bus at the same time. If multiple data are transmitted on the bus at the same time, conflicts and interference will occur, resulting in problems with data transmission. In order to more clearly demonstrate the above problem, the following example is used to illustrate:

[0069] This example includes 1 host node and 10 slave nodes. When the 5th slave node acts as a communication node and completes its own communication needs, it sends a transfer message to 1 host node and the other 9 slave nodes. According to the preset order, the 6th slave node is the next communication node. However, since each slave node obtains the transfer message at different times, the 6th slave node obtains the transfer message relatively faster, while the 8th slave node has not yet obtained the transfer message. If the 6th slave node acts as a communication node and has communication needs with the 8th slave node at this time, and needs to send data to the 8th slave node, then the behavior of the 6th slave node sending data to the 8th slave node will conflict and interfere with the transfer message that the 8th slave node has not yet received, resulting in problems in data transmission.

[0070] Therefore, in order to avoid the above problems, the following designs are also involved:

[0071] In step 201, when the slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the right transfer message obtains the right to use the bus and becomes a communication node, after a preset delay time, the communication node determines whether it needs to send and receive communication data according to its own communication needs.

[0072] In this embodiment, the preset delay time is set by technical personnel in this field. The preset delay time is used to ensure that even if a slave node has obtained the right to use the bus, all remaining slave nodes have enough time to receive the right transfer message and then send and receive communication data, so as to avoid interference and conflict between the right transfer message reception of other slave nodes and the data transmission and reception of communication nodes.

[0073] Furthermore, in the existing communication mode, the slave node can only act as a receiving end and reply, and cannot actively send information to other nodes. It can only rely on the host to actively send information to the slave node first, and the slave node will then reply; in this embodiment, when the slave node obtains the right to use the bus, the slave node can act as a temporary host and can directly interact with other nodes for data without forwarding through the host node, thereby realizing direct point-to-point data transmission between slave nodes, greatly improving the data transmission efficiency between nodes, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0074] In step 202, if the communication node needs to send or receive communication data, the communication node obtains information of all peer nodes according to its own communication needs.

[0075] In this embodiment, the opposite node is the object node to which the communication node needs to send and receive data.

[0076] In step 203, the communication node sends communication data to the opposite node according to the acquired information of the opposite node.

[0077] In step 204, after receiving the communication data, the counterpart node sends reply data to the communication node.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since some slave nodes need to send and receive communication data, and some slave nodes do not need to send and receive communication data, these slave nodes that do not need to send and receive communication data may also receive the transfer message first and become communication nodes. If the communication node directly sends the next round of transfer messages, it will cause interference conflicts with the slave nodes that have not received the transfer message in the previous round. In order to more clearly demonstrate the above problem, the following example is used for explanation:

[0079] This example includes 1 host node and 10 slave nodes, where when the 7th slave node acts as a communication node and completes its own communication needs, it sends a transfer message to 1 host node and the other 9 slave nodes. According to the preset order, the 8th slave node acts as the communication node next. The 8th slave node obtains the transfer message relatively faster, while the 10th slave node has not yet obtained the transfer message. The communication needs of the 8th slave node do not require data transmission with other slave nodes. If the 8th slave node directly sends the transfer message to all other nodes at this time, the bus will simultaneously transmit the transfer message of this round (i.e., the transfer message from the 8th slave node) and the transfer message of the previous round (i.e., the transfer message from the 7th slave node), resulting in the existence of two transfer messages on the bus, which will cause conflicts and interference, resulting in problems in data transmission.

[0080] Therefore, this embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0081] Among all the slave nodes that have obtained the transfer message, the slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the transfer message obtains the right to use the bus and serves as a communication node. After the communication node completes its own communication needs, the linked list code of the communication node is written into a new transfer message, further comprising:

[0082] When a slave node whose address code is consistent with the linked list code in the transfer message obtains the right to use the bus and acts as a communication node, if the communication node determines that it does not need to send or receive communication data based on its own communication needs, then after a preset delay time, the linked list code of the communication node is written into a new transfer message, and the new transfer message is sent to all other nodes.

[0083] In this embodiment, the preset delay time is set by technical personnel in this field. The preset delay time is used to ensure that even if a slave node has obtained the right to use the bus, all remaining slave nodes have enough time to receive the right transfer message and then send the next round of right transfer messages, so as to avoid interference and conflict between the reception of the previous round of right transfer messages and the reception of the next round of right transfer messages.

[0084] Furthermore, considering that there are a large number of slave nodes, in the actual application process, the slave nodes may be abnormal. When an abnormality occurs, the slave node may not be able to perform normal reception and reply as a receiving end. When the bus use right is obtained, it is also impossible to send the transfer message and send and receive communication data as a temporary host. Therefore, when an abnormal slave node obtains the bus use right, it is necessary to discover it in time and skip the node to avoid the node being unable to send the transfer message, resulting in the stagnation of the transfer of the bus use right and affecting the progress of the entire data transmission. In order to avoid the above situation, it is first necessary to monitor all slave nodes that have obtained the bus use right in real time through the host node. This embodiment also involves the following designs:

[0085] Each time the host node receives the new transfer message, it obtains the address code of the current communication node according to the address code in the new transfer message, and obtains the transfer progress of the bus usage rights between each slave node according to the address code of the current communication node and the preset order.

[0086] In this embodiment, the preset order is pre-stored in the host node. By comparing the address code of the current communication node in each received transfer message with the preset order, the information of the slave node that currently obtains the right to use the bus and the progress of the transfer of the bus use rights are obtained. This is used to timely know the information of the slave node that currently has the abnormality when an abnormality is subsequently discovered in the slave node.

[0087] Furthermore, it is necessary to set corresponding judgment criteria for the abnormality of the slave node so as to perform corresponding processing. Therefore, this embodiment also involves the following designs, such as Figure 3 As shown:

[0088] In step 301, the timing starts each time the host node obtains the new transfer message.

[0089] In step 302, if the host node obtains the next transfer message within the preset timeout period, it is determined that the communication node corresponding to the next transfer message is normal, and the host node restarts the timing.

[0090] In step 303, if the host node fails to obtain the next transfer message within the preset timeout period, it is determined that the communication node corresponding to the linked list code in the new transfer message has a fault; the host node obtains the next slave node after the communication node according to the preset order, and transfers the bus usage rights to the next slave node.

[0091] In this embodiment, the preset timeout limit is set by a technician in this field. The preset timeout limit is used for the host node to wait for the slave node that obtains the right to use the bus to send a transfer message. If the transfer message is received within the preset timeout limit, it means that there is no abnormality in the slave node (i.e., the communication node) that currently obtains the right to use the bus. If the transfer message is not received within the preset timeout limit, it means that there is an abnormality in the slave node (i.e., the communication node) that currently obtains the right to use the bus.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the host node detects that the slave node (i.e., the communication node) that obtains the bus usage right is abnormal, the host node will transfer the bus usage right to the next slave node in the preset order by the following method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method flow includes:

[0093] In step 401, when the host node determines that the slave node corresponding to the linked list code in the new right transfer message fails, the host node acquires the right to use the bus.

[0094] In step 402, the master node generates a temporary transfer report according to the address code of the next slave node of the failed slave node in the preset sequence.

[0095] In step 403, the master node sends the temporary right transfer message to all slave nodes through the bus usage right.

[0096] In step 404, the failed slave node obtains the right to use the bus from the next slave node in the preset order.

[0097] In this embodiment, in order to more clearly demonstrate the above method, the following examples are listed here for explanation:

[0098] The default order is [……,0xAA,0xAB,0xAC,0xAD,……];

[0099] The corresponding transfer message generated by the previous slave node 0xAB is: 0xEB 0xAB 0xAC;

[0100] The current slave node 0xAC has an abnormality, and the transfer message is abnormally lost;

[0101] When the host node fails to receive the transfer message within the preset timeout period, the host node 0xAA automatically obtains the right to use the bus, and the host node 0xAA generates a temporary transfer message, wherein the temporary transfer message is: 0xEB 0xAA 0xAD, wherein the abnormal slave node 0xAC is skipped and switched to the next slave node 0xAD after the slave node 0xAC in the preset order, so that data communication continues to be executed in the preset order.

[0102] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 , which are respectively a schematic block diagram and a method flow chart of a multi-node communication method on an RS485 bus provided in this embodiment.

[0103] It is worth mentioning that when a new slave node needs to be added, the information of the new slave node to be added is updated to the preset order, the linked list code of the upper-level slave node corresponding to the new slave node is changed to the address code of the new slave node, and the linked list code of the new slave node is configured as the address code of the next-level slave node; when a specified slave node needs to be removed, the information of the specified slave node to be removed is removed from the preset order, and the linked list code of the upper-level slave node corresponding to the new slave node is changed to the address code of the next-level slave node.

[0104] In summary, this embodiment achieves the following technical effects through the above method:

[0105] The communication nodes on the RS485 bus, including the host node and the slave node, will automatically obtain the right to use the bus in a preset order, complete the sending and receiving of communication data in real time and point-to-point, and realize efficient and fast communication of RS485 bus data.

[0106] The master node will intervene in the communication control only when the slave node is abnormal.
