An information communication device for communicating information among a plurality of components includes a plurality of nodes, each being of a particular node type that corresponds to a particular transmission slot of a plurality of transmission slots. Each transmission slot is formed from a communication cycle that has a prescribed time period. The plurality of transmission slots are synchronized with one another. The communication cycle includes a static transmission area and a dynamic transmission area, where the static transmission area includes the plurality of transmission slots that correspond to the node types. The dynamic transmission area is adapted to transmit information. Each of the plurality of nodes includes a conflict detector that determines when a transmission conflict occurs as a result of nodes of the same node type beginning transmission using the same transmission slot. Each of the plurality of nodes also includes a transmission area setter for changing the transmission slots in the static transmission area based upon information transmitted in the dynamic transmission area
