The transmission device is constituted by transmitting units which are accommodated within a case in a state so that, in an xyz orthogonal coordinate system, in the z axis direction only two transmitting units are disposed adjacently and so that planar conducting plates are opposed to each other; in the x axis direction, two adjacent transmitting units are disposed so that one end portion of one unit and the other end portion of the other unit are adjacent; and in the y axis direction, two adjacent transmitting units are disposed so that one end portion of one unit and the other end portion of the other unit are adjacent.

Transmission device

Numeric values 'a' representing a respective order of transmission by a plurality of transmitting units, and a numeric value N representing the total number of transmitting units, are set for each of the transmitting units. At startup, a transmitting unit for which the value 'a' representing the order of transmission of the unit has been set to 1 sets a trigger value to N and transmits information about the value &#x201c;a&#x201d; of the unit and detection information from a sensor, and, when the value N is detected from a received signal, transmits the value &#x201c;a&#x201d; of the unit and detection information. When a value of a&#x2212;1 is detected from a received signal, the transmitting unit for which the value &#x201c;a&#x201d; representing the order of transmission of the unit has been set to other than 1 transmits the information of the value &#x201c;a&#x201d; of the unit and detection information.

A pneumatic fender management system that establishes a correspondence between a pneumatic fender in which an identification tag recording first identification information is embedded and a pressure sensor detecting a pneumatic pressure of the pneumatic fender and transmitting a detected value. The pressure sensor includes a sensor part detecting a pneumatic pressure of the pneumatic fender, a transmission part transmitting a signal from the sensor part; a reader part reading the information in the identification tag, and a control part having a memory part recording second identification information. The control part compares the first identification information read by the reader part with the second identification information in the memory part, and if the compared information is identical, causes the transmission part to transmit the pneumatic pressure information detected by the sensor part, and if the compared information is different, stops the sensor part and/or the transmission part.
