Abstract
An interdevice communication monitoring unit-calculates a variable timeout time (T−T) by subtracting an elapsed time T from a predetermined fixed timeout time Tfor monitoring an intermodule communication to monitor an elapsed time of an intermodule communication. The fixed timeout time Tis a time shorter than a predetermined interface connection check time Tfor monitoring an interface connection with a channel. When the elapsed time T of the intermodule communication exceeds the variable timeout time (T−T), the interdevice communication monitoring unit requests a channel to separate the interface connection, and then when an end response is obtained from a control module, requests the channel for an interface reconnection and then transmits an end response.
