Abstract
An apparatus for controlling operations of one or more slave controllers connected via a LIN communication includes a controller configured to generate a control message to control the operations of the one or more slave controllers and a status request message to request status information of the one or more slave controllers, a transmitter configured to transmit the control message and the status request message to the slave controllers, and a receiver configured to receive a response message from a response slave controller when the response slave controller included in the one or more slave controllers generates the response message including status information thereof by referring to the control message and status request message.
Claims10
An apparatus for controlling operations of one or more slave controllers connected via a local interconnect network (LIN) communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to generate a control message comprising control data including a control command to each of the one or more slave controllers and controller identification data of the response slave controller to control the operations of the one or more slave controllers and a status request message comprising message header data requesting the status information of the one or more slave controllers to request status information of the one or more slave controllers;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the control message and the status request message to the slave controllers;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive a response message from a response slave controller when the response slave controller included in the one or more slave controllers generates the response message including status information thereof by referring to the control message and status request message,
- wherein the response slave controller generates the response message including status information thereof, by referring to the controller identification data included in the control message and the message header data included in the status request message.
A method of controlling operations of the one or more slave controllers connected via a local interconnect network (LIN) communication, the method comprising:
- generating a control message comprising control data including a control command to each of the one or more slave controllers and controller identification data of the response slave controller to control the operations of the one or more slave controllers and a status request message comprising message header data requesting the status information of the one or more slave controllers to request status information of the one or more slave controllers;
- transmitting the control message and the status request message to the one or more slave controllers;
- and
- receiving a response message from a response slave controller when the response slave controller included in the one or more slave controllers generates the response message including status information thereof by referring to the control message and status request message,
- wherein the response slave controller generates the response message including status information thereof by referring to the controller identification data included in the control message and the message header data included in the status request message.
