Abstract
A communication system includes a first controller and a second controller connected to each other. The first controller receives electric power from a power source through a power switch. The second controller includes a current detection unit, the management frame obtaining unit, the disconnection determination unit, and the power supply disconnection unit. The current detection unit detects a consumed current value of the first controller. The management frame obtaining unit obtains a management frame including activation information of the first controller. The disconnection determination unit determines, based on the consumed current value and the activation information, whether a predetermined disconnection condition is met. The power supply disconnection unit switches the power switch to a disconnected state when the disconnection determination unit determines that the disconnection condition is met.
