Abstract
A transmission data synchronization system in a disaster prevention monitoring system comprises the steps of: connecting a plurality of terminal units to first and second transmission lines led out from a receiver; sending out access data in the form of a voltage from the receiver through the first transmission line; and sending back response data by a terminal unit specified in the access data in the form of an electric current through the second transmission line during a response time period. The response data sent back by a terminal unit which has responded to the access data sent out by the receiver is formed of terminal state data and checksum data produced by adding the terminal state data to the self-address data. The receiver adds the address data to the terminal state data, and determines that a transmission error has occurred when the data determined from the addition does not match the checksum data. Each of the terminal units transfers the response data during the response time period when each terminal unit is specified in the access data. When the terminal unit is not specified in the access data, the receiving of data through the the first transmission line is inhibited during the response time period. Thus, high reliability and high-speed transmission of data are realized in the system for detecting errors in data transmission between the receiver and the terminal units in the disaster prevention monitoring system based on the polling system.
