The present invention relates to a node in distributed communication system operating under a time triggered protocol, further it relates to distributed communication system and to a monitoring device coupled to such node of a communication system. To provide a node in a distributed communication system, a distributed communication system and a monitoring device increasing the error detection and reducing complexity for providing a high availability for systems which require a non 100% fail safe solution a node is proposed comprising: a communication controller (15) coupled to a receiving and a transmission path, a host (13) for performing an application, and a monitoring device (16) coupled at least to one of a transmission path of the communication controller (15), an interface (91) between communication controller (15) and the host (13), and to internal lines of the communication controller (15), wherein the monitoring device (16) is provided for evaluating information provided by the communication controller (15) to monitor at least one state of the communication controller (15), wherein in case of detecting a non-defined state the host (13) is informed for performing predetermined actions in respect to the state of the communication controller (15). Thereby, an easy cost reduced solution is provided adapted to detect a predetermined number of faults in a distributed communication system.
