The Development of Communication Protocol for Real Time Control

The new network protocol, Easy Control Network (EC-NET)and its communication control LSI have been developed, which realize the real time control over network. By solving the problems that CAN cannot solve, the EC-NET protocol has opened the practical path to the distributed network control system inside vehicles. The EC-NET protocol includes various features such as Non-prioritized token passing protocol, Improved communication quality with CMI code system, Network standard time, Memory mirror, etc.
