| 20150134856 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A SAFETY DEVICE, AND USE OF AN IO LINK FOR TRANSMISSION OF A SAFETY PROTOCOL TO A SAFETY DEVICE - A control device for controlling a safety device which can be connected to a master assembly by means of an IO link is characterized in that a safety protocol can be transmitted via an IO link connection. | 05-14-2015 |
| 20160004477 | DATA TRANSFER APPARATUS AND DATA TRANSFER METHOD - In a data transfer apparatus, a data coupling unit includes a command transfer unit that outputs a write address based on transfer requests input from a bus master, a judgment result indicating whether data corresponding to the input transfer requests are continues, and a judgment result indicating whether a size after coupling exceeds an arbitrary burst length. The data coupling unit includes a buffer unit that retains the data input from the bus master according to the write address, a buffer management unit that retains information used by the data coupling unit to couple the transfer requests, and a coupled command transfer unit that generates a transfer request after coupling, having a data size less than or equal to the arbitrary burst length and a start address based on the arbitrary burst length. | 01-07-2016 |
