Abstract
A communication device includes: a data transmission unit that is connected to a communication bus to which a plurality of communication equipments are connected and transmits data; and a processing unit that performs processing. The order in which the plurality of pieces of communication equipment and the data transmission unit transmit data through the communication bus is determined in advance. A start signal indicating the start of data transmission is repeatedly transmitted through the communication bus. The data transmission unit transmits data according to the order when the start signal is transmitted. The processing unit changes the transmission interval of the start signal.
