  2. Bus network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_network

    In a bus network, every station will receive all network traffic, and the traffic generated by each station has equal transmission priority. [3] A bus network forms a single network segment and collision domain. In order for nodes to share the bus, they use a medium access control technology such as carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) or a bus ...

  3. System bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_bus

    A system bus is a single computer bus that connects the major components of a computer system, combining the functions of a data bus to carry information, an address bus to determine where it should be sent or read from, and a control bus to determine its operation. The technique was developed to reduce costs and improve modularity, and ...

  4. Bus contention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_contention

    Bus contention is an undesirable state in computer design where more than one device on a bus attempts to place values on it at the same time.. Bus contention is the kind of telecommunication contention that occurs when all communicating devices communicate directly with each other through a single shared channel, and contrasted with "network contention" that occurs when communicating devices ...

  5. Modbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modbus

    Modbus or MODBUS is a client/server data communications protocol in the application layer. [1] It was originally designed for use with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), [2] but has become a de facto standard communication protocol for communication between industrial electronic devices in a wide range of buses and networks.

  6. Control bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_bus

    In computer architecture, a control bus is part of the system bus and is used by CPUs for communicating with other devices within the computer. While the address bus carries the information about the device with which the CPU is communicating and the data bus carries the actual data being processed, the control bus carries commands from the CPU and returns status signals from the devices.

  7. System Management Bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Bus

    The System Management Bus (SMBus or SMB) is a single-ended simple two-wire bus for the purpose of lightweight communication. Most commonly it is found in chipsets of computer motherboards for communication with the power source for ON/OFF instructions.

  8. Host Embedded Controller Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_Embedded_Controller...

    The HECI bus allows the host operating system (OS) to communicate directly with the Management Engine (ME) integrated in the chipset.This bi-directional, variable data-rate bus enables the host and ME to communicate system management information and events in a standards-compliant way, essentially replacing the System Management Bus (SMBus).

  9. Network operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_operating_system

    A network operating system (NOS) is a specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch or firewall.. Historically operating systems with networking capabilities were described as network operating systems, because they allowed personal computers (PCs) to participate in computer networks and shared file and printer access within a local area network (LAN).
