Original Abstract

The new bus for home automation specified to use by microcontrollers is defined in the paper. The bus is designed for implementation in exist 100 BASE-TX Ethernet CAT-5e cabling. The bus specification is based on some home automation standards and combines theirs properties. The bus was named SoftBUS. SoftBUS use two twisted pair wires and both wires are exchangeable. Voltage levels on the bus are fully compatible with CMOS logic. Maximal defined speed is 1 Mbit/s (cable length 10 m). Bus speed can be easy changed. Bus specification effectively controls collision by bus state monitoring. Bus can operate in two modes – speed setting and data transmition. The communication frame consists of device address and data section. Because, there is intersection of the link and net layer of OSI ISO model [7]. The communication frame has variable length depending on device type but limited to 1 kB.
