Abstract
Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for handling non-synchronous interrupts in a time-synchronous network. In one example, a method for a primary device includes monitoring a communication channel during a series of configured packet time slots. Respective packet time slots in the series are mapped to respective secondary devices and successive packet time slots in the series are separated in time from one another by respective inter-packet time. The inter-packet times do not overlap any packet time slot. The method includes monitoring the communication channel during at least one common asynchronous interrupt time slot that occurs during a respective inter-packet time, and generating one or more control signals based on signals received during the packet time slots and the at least one common asynchronous interrupt time slot.
