ABSTRACT:
A repeater for use in a control network includes isolating transformers at its root input/output and at a plurality of branch input/outputs. There is a line receiver and a line driver circuit associated with each of the isolating transformers. To determine the direction of transmission of signals through the repeater, there is a common mode voltage detector which detects a common mode voltage imposed on the wiring to the root side of the root transformer. A corresponding common mode voltage is imposed by the repeater on the branch side of each of the branch transformers. The repeater also includes a logic circuit for testing the validity of signals received from the branches and ensuring that only valid signals are passed to the root transformer.
