The invention provides an
asynchronous serial communication method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: a
master station pulls down an initialization
signal, and transmits the initialization
signal to each slave
station; when the slave
station detects that the initialization
signal is lowered, the slave
station communication
baud rate is initialized, and a low-level state signal is output; when the
master station detects a low-level state signal of the slave station, the initialization signal is pulled up, and a pulse with a predetermined
baud rate is sent to each slave station through a data line; if the slave station detects that the fixed-frequency pulse received by the data line is kept stable within a preset duration, it is judged that the slave station communication
baud rate is confirmed successfully, a next-level slave station state signal is obtained, and if the next-level slave station state signal is in a high level, the current slave station state signal is set to be in a high level; and the
master station detects that the state line signals of the slave stations are high levels, judges that all the slave stations are successfully configured, and starts communication. Through the scheme, the
Baud rate configuration efficiency of
asynchronous serial communication can be improved, the
Baud rate configuration time is shortened, and manpower and
material resources are saved.
