Description

This technical solution relates to computer systems and computer networks with devices for processing data with an impact on the order of data location and their content.

Areas of application are systems for managing the activities of organizational systems.

A technical solution is known - a device for the exchange of information [1], which contains switching units, timers for the start and end of a session, memory blocks for inputs and outputs, start and end sessions, logic elements. This solution is designed to transfer information between computers and provides increased productivity by organizing communication sessions. However, in the case of transferring control information, control commands are sent to the slave computer in the data codes generated in the host computer, which allows this solution to be used only if the data codes for the control commands are identical in the interacting control (master) and managed (slave) computers.

A well-known technical solution is a multi-channel digital communication system [2], which contains transmitting and receiving group and individual units, switching and memory units, a control unit and a command receiver, logical components. This solution provides an increase in throughput by changing the transmission speed in the group and individual paths depending on the load, the volume of which varies during the day. At the same time, there is a restriction on the use of this solution when transmitting control commands between interacting computers in case of difference in the codes of data about control commands.

The closest analogue of the proposed technical solution is a system of situational and analytical centers of the organizational system [3]. This solution contains separate control systems - a control center, situational and analytical centers and control centers equipped with hardware and software for monitoring the status of control objects, analysis and state management of the organizational system, and functioning jointly, essentially, as an integrated management system based on unified data transmission network (telecommunication network). Solution [3] provides an increase in the efficiency of the decision-making process due to the automated development of scenarios (plans) for solving problem situations and management commands for their execution, and transmitting them to an address through a data transmission network. The application of this solution is possible provided that the codes of the data on the control commands are identical in the interacting control systems and the textual (semantic) values of these codes are identical, which describe the functions of the control commands. However, solution [3] does not provide such an opportunity in the absence of the above conditions, for example, in cases of constructing interacting control systems based on hardware and software from different manufacturers.

At the same time, there is a need for automatic transmission of data about control commands between different control systems. So, there is a tendency to organize information interaction between management systems of various departments, enterprises to prevent various threats and eliminate negative consequences [4]. Moreover, as a rule, the interaction should be organized between already built control systems that operate on the basis of hardware and software supplied from different manufacturers, and in which the control commands that are identical in terms of the functions performed are represented by different data codes.

The technical result, the achievement of which the present technical solution is aimed, is to increase the efficiency of the control process by ensuring the automatic conversion of data about the control command generated in the codes of one leading control system into data about this command presented in the codes of another, driven control system.

The functioning of the IMS in the operating mode is carried out in accordance with the process of transmitting the control command applicable to any leading and slave control systems from the group of control systems 1.1, 1.2, ..., 1.N that are part of the IMS. This process is discussed below using the data transmission path shown in FIG. 4 and consisting of a control server of the slave control system 1.1, a data transmitter 2.1 connected to a data transmission network 3 and a data receiver 4.N connected to a control server of the control system 1.N.

In operating mode:

1. In the transmitter 2.1 data:

- receive data from the master control system 1.1 from the information input 7 in module 4 about the initial control command (Fig. 5), which includes the address information of the slave control system 1.N, the instruction data presented in the codes of the master control system 1.1, and data on the appendix to the instructions presented in codes that are unambiguously perceived by the master and slave control systems 1.1 and 1.N;

- choose, in accordance with the instruction data included in the data about the original control command (Fig. 5), from the data blocks about the control commands stored in module 6, data on the name of this instruction;

- transform in module 7 the data on the original control command into data on the original function of the control command (Fig. 6), which includes data on the address of the slave control system 1.N, data on the name of the instruction, and data on the application to the instruction;

- transmit data on the initial function of the control command (Fig. 6) to the network output 9 and further to the data transmission network 3.

- receive from the network input 17 in the module 12 received from the network 3 data transmission through the internal bus 19 of the receiver data on the output function of the control command (Fig. 7);

- transform in module 13 data on the output function of the control command (Fig. 7) into data on the output control command (Fig. 8), which includes data on the address of the object, data on the instruction, and data on the application to the instruction;

- transmit the output of the control command (Fig. 8) through module 12 and information output 15 to the slave control system 1.N.

Wherein:

- data exchange between modules 4, 5, 6 and the network output 9 of the transmitter 2.1 data is carried out using the internal bus 11 of the transmitter;

- data exchange between modules 12, 13, 14 and the network input 17 of the receiver 4.N data is carried out using the internal bus 16 of the receiver;

- modules 4, 5, 6 of the transmitter 2.1 of the data and modules 12, 13, 14 of the data receiver can be performed on the basis of known computing means, by software (using a recorded or installed program) execution of the operations described in the description, for example, based on micro- COMPUTER;

- each data transmitter and each data receiver can be structurally made in the form of typical replacement elements and built into racks with the equipment of the corresponding control systems.

As a data transmission network, technical solutions for data transmission networks [5], packet switching networks [6], digital communication systems, or other known technical solutions can be used. The choice of a solution is made depending on the location of the control systems between which control commands are transmitted. As an example in FIG. 9 is a diagram of a data transmission path constructed on the basis of a multi-channel digital communication system (MCCS) [2]. A feature of this technical solution is the automatic control of the data rate in the information paths. Wherein:

- the network output 14 of the data transmitter is connected to the information input of one of the n-1 transmitting individual blocks of the MCCS;

- the network input 6 of the data receiver is connected to the information output of one of the n-1 receiving individual blocks of the MCCS.

Other features of this technical solution are:

- the possibility of establishing direct information paths for various pairs of interacting control systems in the MCCS n-1;

- the ability to exclude from the composition of the data about the initial control command, and, therefore, from the composition of the initial and output functions of the control command, data on the address of the slave control system, which is possible in the presence of direct information paths.

MCCS works as follows (Fig. 9) [2].

In the initial state, command codes are written to the memory block. Code changeability is ensured over time upon receipt of pulses from the output of the divider to the input of the memory unit.

Putting the system into operation by submitting a command code (a combination of control signals):

- to the switching unit of the transmitting part of the system;

- to the command receiver (via the group path).

The command codes recorded in the memory block set:

- the speed of transmission (reception) of signals in the group path (communication channel);

- the speed of transmission (reception) of signals through each transmitting and receiving individual unit (in individual paths).

The establishment of the transmission rate (reception) of signals is as follows. At the output of the memory block under the influence of pulses from the divider, a combination of control signals appears, which is received:

- on the transmitting part of the system: to the control inputs of the switching unit, to the first inputs of AND elements, as well as to the information inputs of the control unit;

- through the nth transmitting individual unit, the transmitting group unit, the group path, the receiving group unit, and the nth receiving individual unit to the command receiver.

The signal inputs of the switching unit of the transmitting part of the system receive pulses from the transmitting group unit, which, depending on the state of the switches, determined by the combination of control signals, are transmitted to the transmitting individual blocks.

The combination of control signals from the output of the command receiver is transmitted to the second inputs of the switching unit of the receiving part of the system. This ensures the operation of the transmitting and receiving parts of the system, agreed upon:

- by the speed of entering information into transmitting individual blocks;

- by the speed of information output from receiving individual blocks.

The coordinated operation of the control unit and the command receiver is ensured by applying identical sequences of clock pulse signals to the clock input of the control unit and to the second input of the command receiver.

Thus, using combinations of control signals coming from the output of the memory unit and varying depending on the time of day, the corresponding frequency of clock pulses is generated for reading information signals, which determines:

- the speed of transmission and reception of signals in the group path of the system;

- proportionally changed transmission and reception speeds in individual information paths formed by transmitting and receiving individual blocks.

By analyzing the load on the information paths at various time intervals, and writing down the corresponding command codes according to the analysis results in the memory unit, it is possible to establish signal transmission rates that are optimal in terms of the maximum system throughput for various time intervals.

Technical solution - an integrated control system, has the following industrial properties:

1. The use of ISU provides an increase in the efficiency of control processes by automatically converting data about a control command generated in the codes of one leading control system into data about this command presented in codes of another, driven control system.

2. The scope of the MIS is the existing and emerging management systems of departments, enterprises and other organizational systems that together solve common problems, including the prevention of various threats and the elimination of negative consequences. Such control systems include:

- control systems for robotic objects;

- automated systems for managing the activities of departments and enterprises;

- Centers and control centers in institutions and scientific organizations;

- situational, situational-analytical and analytical centers in departments, state, regional and municipal authorities, other systems.

3. The transmission of the control command to the data transmitter can be carried out, for example, from a control server or a computer complex of the leading control system through its common bus or equipment interface [3]. In this case, the information input of the data transmitter is also connected to this common bus (equipment interface). The control command can be transmitted from the data receiver through its information output to the control server or the computer complex of the slave control system via its common bus (equipment interface) [3].

4. Each management team may consist of the following segments:

- an address representing information about the address of the slave control system to which this command should be transmitted, and this may be an electronic address in the data network of the data receiver, the output of which is connected via a common bus of the slave control system to its control server;

- an instruction representing code information about the action that must be performed in the slave management system (for example, this may be the action “write the decision script to the audit data storage system about the activities of the organizational system”, as in [3]);

- an appendix to the instruction — it is an information object used in carrying out actions in accordance with the instruction (for example, this may be a “decision-making scenario”, as in [3]).

Wherein:

- in the case of the presence of a direct data transmission channel - the information path, between the interacting control systems the address segment in the control command may be absent, and, therefore, the address data in the original control command may also be absent;

- if there is a knowledge base in the interacting control systems about control commands that are identical in terms of the actions performed and do not require applications (for example, as in [1]), the segment of the application to the instruction in the control command may be absent, and, therefore, data about application to the instruction in the data about the initial control command;

- under both of the above conditions, the control command can include only the instruction segment.

5. The hardware and software platforms of the interacting control systems can be built by different companies on hardware and software from different manufacturers and produced at different enterprises, therefore the control commands that are identical in function in different control systems may differ in data codes.
