NETWORK COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF NODES, AND A NODE FOR SUCH A NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a network comprising a plurality of nodes in which at least one node comprises a communications processor. Said processor can be operated independent of application-specific parts (11) of the node (1), and when the node malfunctions, the processor transmits a message for handling malfunctions to at least one other node (3). A memory (8) is assigned to the communications processor (6). The message for handling malfunctions is stored in said memory. A monitoring instance (9) is provided for determining the malfunction and prompts the communications processor (6) to transmit the message. The invention is used in communications processors.
