Estimating the term…
The communication system includes two or more first communication devices capable of operating as each of both a slave and a master, and a first communication path connecting among respective devices. A clock signal flows through the first communication path. The first communication device operating as a master transmits a clock signal to the first communication path. An alternative master, which is one of the first communication devices operating as a slave, detects an abnormality suspicion situation in the first communication device operating as a master, and if the abnormality suspicion situation is detected, switches to a mode for operating as a master to send a clock signal to the first communication path, and after transmitting the clock signal, if a clock signal is transmitted by another device, switches to a mode for operating as a slave.
A communication system comprising:
A communication device connected to multiple other communication devices via a communication path through which a clock signal flows,
A communication method executed by a computer, wherein the computer is connected to multiple communication devices via a communication path through which a clock signal flows, and one of the communication devices operates as a master, the method comprising, by the computer:
