A measurement system (100) is constituted by a plurality of sensors (110, 120) coupled together via a bus (130). Each of the sensors (110, 120) is identical in physical structure and comprises a master system part (210, 310) and a slave system part (220, 320). The measurement system (100) comprises: one master sensor (110), wherein the master system part (210) of the master sensor (110) is activated, the mater sensor (110) is used to collect, aggregate, and analyze information form all the slave sensors (120) and/or from the master sensor (110) per se; and a plurality of slave sensors (120), wherein the master system part (210, 310) of each slave sensor (120) is dormant while the slave system part (220, 320) of each slave sensor (120) is activated, the slave sensor (120) is used to collect and press information and deliver the collected information to the master sensor (110), wherein when a fault occurs in the master sensor (110), one of the plurality of slave sensors (120) switches to a new master sensor. The measurement system has a low complexity, supports multi-machine hot back-up, and has strong tolerance to the environment. |
