Abstract
An interface for transmitting messages between two bus systems including a receiver device for receiving a message from the first bus system, a classification device for classifying the message received from the first receiver device according to one of several predetermined classes, a translation device for translating the message based on a predetermined rule for each class into a message for transmission on the second bus system, and a transmitter device for transmitting the translated message on the second bus system.
Claims18
An interface for transmission of messages between two bus systems, comprising:
- a first receiver device for receiving a message from the first bus system;
- a first classification device for classifying the message received from the first receiver device according to one of multiple predetermined classes;
- a first translation device for translating the message into a message for transmission on the second bus system based on a rule specified for each class, and
- a first transmitter device for transmitting the translated message on the second bus system.
A method for transmitting a message from a first bus system to a second, comprising:
- a) classifying the message received by the first bus system according to one of several predetermined classes;
- b) selecting a translation rule based on the classification;
- c) translating the message based on the translation rule;
- and
- d) outputting the translated message on the second bus system.
