A signal processor includes a period detection section which detects that a period is currently used for communication of a frame; a pattern detection section which detects, from the received signal, a first signal pattern by which the end of communication of the frame is recognized; and an output processing section which outputs the received signal to a controller; configured to instruct, upon detection of the first signal pattern in the period being currently used for communication of a frame, the controller to halt startup of communication action of the next frame, until the period being currently used for communication of a frame comes to the end, to thereby reduce an event such that frames are transmitted from a plurality of communication devices simultaneously, and to thereby allow the communication action for the next frame to proceed correctly.

A node system includes a first node, a second node, and a supervisory node which transmit frames while increasing or decreasing the cycle microtick count, and determines reduced cycle microtick counts by subtracting or adding a rate correction limit value from or to the cycle microtick count of the supervisory node when reception of the first frame transmitted by the first node stop and the cycle microtick count of the supervisory node when reception of the first and second frames stop.

A transmitting/receiving system includes a control field controlling a transmitting priority of a dynamic slot is included in each communication cycle, and a node of the transmitting/receiving system sets control information including a preferential usage request for a dynamic slot that the node transmits in the control field and notifies all nodes in the transmitting/receiving system of the preferential usage request for the dynamic slot.

Transmitting/receiving system, node and communication method

In a communication device which can realize a protocol conversion by a single device without preparing respective packages for existing various protocols, a protocol attribute included in a packet received is detected, protocol processing order data indicating a protocol processing order based on the protocol attribute are generated, and a plurality of protocols within the received packet are processed based on the protocol processing order data.
