Abstract

A control device includes first and second control modules. The first control module is configured to generate process data at t, send the process data to the second control module via a communication channel, receive a response to the process data, and process the process data at t. The second control module is configured to receive the process data from the first control module, process the process data at t, generate the response at t, and send the response to the first control module. The times t, t, t, and tare in chronological order. In various implementations, the first and second control modules jointly guarantee a minimum duration Δ1 between tand t. In various implementations, the second control module guarantees a minimum duration Δ2 between tand t. In various implementations, the first and second control modules jointly guarantee a minimum duration Δ3 between tand t.
