ABSTRACT:
A bi-directional communication and control system includes a common network line over which messages are transmitted in a specific message format and a plurality of hardware based digital IC's which are coupled to the common network line and are arranged to receive messages from and transmit messages to the network line in the specific format is taught. Specifically, a multipurpose two-way communication device is taught which is connected to one of the digital ICs, the device being operable in a master mode in which the device interfaces an external controller to the network line through the connected digital IC so that the external controller can act as the master controller for the plurality of digital ICs coupled to the common network line. The multipurpose device is also operable in an expanded slave mode in which a controlled product connected to the multipurpose device is interfaced to the network line through the connected digital IC so that a master controller on the network line can transmit messages to and receive messages from the product through the series combination of the digital IC and the multipurpose device.
