Abstract
In an in-vehicle power line communication system in which a power line communication network and a battery are connected to each other via a first power line, the power line communication network includes a master power line communication node connected to the battery via the first power line, a second power line, slave power line communication nodes including at least a transmitting slave power line communication node and a receiving slave power line communication node, a transmitting-side in-vehicle device, and a receiving-side in-vehicle device. The master power line communication node and the slave power line communication nodes communicate with each other using a time-triggered communication protocol. The mutual communicating of the slave power line communication nodes are controlled by a token signal output from the master power line communication node. Only the master power line communication node and the slave power line communication nodes are connected to the second power line.
