Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a data transmission system capable of transmitting any desired data between a plurality of terminal units connected to each other for transmitting and receiving a variety of data wherein it is characterized in that; as soon as one of these terminal units first detects a signal collision, the relevant collision signal is instantly sent to the transmission line, thus enabling all other units to correctly detect such a collision, and as a result, an overall system capability for correctly detecting any collision occurring in the transmission line can be improved significantly, resulting in the minimized error throughout data transmission operations.
