Abstract

A bus communication system is equipped with an operation scheme based on a trouble detection method that prevents a halt of the entire bus communication system by partially operating the system with the enforcement of operation prohibition for a troubled part. The troubled part in a daisy chain network of a master unit and slave units is detected and identified based on response signals from the slave units when the slave units respectively acquire their IDs.
