There are included an opposite-side transmitter unit for transmitting the same messages to plural communication paths, respectively; and a host-side receiver unit for receiving the messages flowing through the plural communication paths, respectively; wherein, the receiver unit, compares the plural received messages to perform verification using error-detection code on any one of the messages when they are identical, or on all of the messages when there is a mismatch; and when detected error of message due to error inclusion or reception failure, discards all of the messages received at that time, and calculates an accumulated number of error detections for each of the communication paths through which the messages has been transmitted, so as to stop receiving the control-related message, when the number of error detections has reached a given number, from the communication path where the number of error detections has reached the given number.
A communication device using communication paths, the communication device comprising:
