Abstract
A method of controlling communication over a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus is provided. The method comprises a redundancy master node detecting whether or not a first master node responds to data transmitted over the LIN bus; wherein in case the first master node does not respond, the redundancy master node will act as master node on the LIN bus.
Claims15
A method of controlling communication over a Local Interconnect Network, LIN, bus, the method comprising:
- a redundancy master node detecting whether or not a first master node responds to data transmitted over the LIN bus;
- wherein in case the first master node does not respond, the redundancy master node acts as master node on the LIN bus.
A redundancy master node configured to control communication over a Local Interconnect Network, LIN, bus, the redundancy master node comprising a processing unit and a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processing unit, whereby the redundancy master node is operative to:
- detect whether or not a first master node responds to data transmitted over the LIN bus;
- wherein in case the first master node does not respond, the redundancy master node acts as master node on the LIN bus.
