Abstract:
An input/output (I/O) and control system for long distance communications and industrial applications having a bus and protocol for communications between field devices and a channel generator for monitoring and control of the field devices. The channel generator produces a pulse train such as an offset square wave with dual scan bus cycles having alternating A and B scan cycles that each comprise a plurality of channel windows assigned to the field devices. One or more channel windows in the A and B scan cycles has an exception interrupt window during which the control unit can detect a low level signal provided by a field device before its corresponding channel window in the dual scan bus cycle, thereby reducing system reaction time.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the control unit can detect the selected voltage level signal provided by at least one of the plural devices during an exception interrupt window in the at least one scan bus cycle prior to detecting the different voltage level signal provided by that device in its next assigned channel window in the pulse train.
