Abstract
Error information are formed in respectively assigned dependability system sub-modules from error reports of program control modules in a job-oriented manner and are transmitted to a system dependability sub-module. These reports are compiled in the latter based on defined order and criteria. The records are then forwarded in a system dependability sub-module-associated data format to a signaling sub-module which is provided in an administration data server, a signaling distribution file and a signaling format file with whose assistance signaling information, from which error texts that can be output to display equipment are formed and assigned to the signaling sub-module.
Claims12
A modulation communications system with a system-oriented periphery and comprising:
- a switching unit including a digital switching matrix and a central control device;
- an administration data server for controlling the system-oriented periphery and storing system files;
- a plurality of program control modules each constructed in a job-oriented manner;
- a system bus connecting said switching unit, said administration data server and said program control modules;
- a plurality of program control module-associated system dependability sub-modules in the respective program control modules, in said administration data server, and in said switching unit;
- a system dependability systems sub-module in said switching unit hierarchy higher ranking over said system dependability sub-modules;
- at least one output device including display equipment operable to display errors;
- error information formed from error signals of the program control modules of the switching unit and said administration data server in respectively assigned system dependability sub-modules being transmitted to said system dependability systems sub-modules of said switching unit, said system dependability systems sub-module of said switching unit responsive thereto to form error reports based on defined ordering criteria including error categories;
- and said administration data server including a signaling sub-module, a signaling distribution file associated with said signaling sub-module and having data for the report identification, for error categories and for the configuration of the output device, and said error reports being transmitted to said signaling sub-module in a system dependability sub-module data format including a signal format file associated with said signaling sub-module and having data for the conversion of the system dependability sub-module data format into an administration data server system data format of signaling reports used for the formation of error texts in the output device assigned to said signaling sub-module.
The communication system of claim 3 and further comprising:
- logical procedure sub-modules having at least one sub-module system assigned thereto for the conversion of texts parameters of the signaling reports into error texts.
A module communications system with a system-oriented periphery and comprising:
- a switching unit including a digital switching matrix and a central control device;
- an administration data server for controlling the system-oriented periphery and storing system files;
- a plurality of program control modules each constructed in a job-oriented manner;
- a system bus connecting said switching unit, said administration data server and said program control modules;
- a plurality of program control module associated system dependability sub-modules in the respective program control modules, in said administration data server and in said switching unit, said system dependability sub-module in said switching unit hierarchically higher ranking over said system dependability sub-modules of said program control modules and said administration data server;
- at least one output device including display equipment operable to display errors;
- error information formed from error signals of the program control modules and said data administration server in respectively assigned system dependability sub-modules being transmitted to said system dependability sub-module of said switching unit, said system dependability sub-module of said switching unit responsive thereto to form error reports based on defined ordering criteria including error categories;
- said administration data server including a signaling sub-module, a signaling distribution file associated with said signaling sub-module and having data for the report identification, for error categories and for the configuration of said output device, and a signaling format file associated with said signaling sub-module and having data for conversion of the system dependability sub-module data format into an administration data server system data format of signaling reports used for the formation of error texts in the output device assigned to said signaling sub-module.
