Abstract
In a bridge communication device that receives information for statuses of a battery from a monitoring device that monitors the statuses, an upstream communication port can transmit the information to an upstream bridge communication device; a downstream communication port can transmit the information to a downstream bridge communication device; a master communication module can transmit the information to a controller if the master communication module is enabled to communicate with the controller; and a slave communication module can operate in an upstream mode or a downstream mode if the master communication module is not enabled to communicate with the controller. In the upstream mode, the slave communication module transmits the information to the controller through the upstream communication port and the upstream bridge communication device. In the downstream mode, the slave communication module transmits the information to the controller through the downstream communication port and the downstream bridge communication device.
