Abstract
A dual loop type data highway system comprises a data highway having at least two loops for data transmission and reception, a plurality of data transmitting/receiving stations serially connected to the data highway and a control station serially connected to the data highway. The data transmitting/receiving stations each have means for detecting the beginning of a transmission cycle, one for each of the loops, and the control station has, one for each of the loops, means for detecting the end of the transmission cycle and means for permitting the transmission/reception of data between specified two of the data transmitting/receiving stations during the transmission cycle by polling, whereby an effective transmission rate is increased without considerable increase of hardware.
