Patent ID: 8812287

Claim:
A method for emulating a wired-OR hardware connection, the method comprising: detecting a logic state at a first connector and a logic state at a second connector of a wired-OR logic control device; determining that a first node attached to the first connector is driving an active state; driving the second connector of the device to an active state in response to determining that the first connector of the logic device is being driven to an active state; waiting for the first node to stop driving an active state; determining that the first connector is not being driven to an active state; stop driving the second connector of the device to the active state in response to determining that the first connector is not being driven to an active state; determining that a second node attached to the second connector of the device is driving the second connector to an active state; driving the first connector of the device to the active state in response to determining that the second connector is being driven to an active state; waiting for the second node to stop driving an active state; determining that the second connector is not being driven to an active state; and stop driving the first connector to an active state in response to determining that the second connector is not being driven to an active state.
