Abstract: A communication system containing a master station and a plurality of slave stations. The master station receives a request from one of the plurality of slave stations and memorizes one or more requests from one or more slave stations. The master station also sends a request sending allowance signal which addresses one of the plurality of slave stations to give an allowance to send a request for sending data, and sends a data sending allowance signal which addresses one of the plurality of slave stations to give an allowance to send data, according to a request which is memorized. Each of the slave stations detects a request sending allowance signal which addresses its own slave station, and a data sending allowance signal which addresses its own slave station. Each of the slave stations also sends a request for sending data to the master station when its own slave station detects a request sending allowance signal which addresses its own slave station.

Abstract: A communication system including a master station, a plurality of slave stations each for communicating with the master station, a two-way transmission line connecting the master station and the plurality of slave stations. Each of the slave stations sends a request for further communication with the master station, to the master station when its own slave station is allowed to communicate with the master station and its own slave station has the above request. The master station detects the request for further communication with the master station in a signal sent from a slave station, and memorizes the slave station from which the request for further communication with the master station is detected, until an allowance signal is sent to the slave station from the master station corresponding to the memorizing of the slave station.
