Method and device for synchronizing the cycle time of a number of buses, and a corresponding bus system

摘要

In each TTCAN bus, a global time is determined. From the global times, the deviations of the global times are determined for those TTCAN busses that are connected together via at least one user. Based on the deviations of the individual global times, the cycle times of the connected TTCAN busses are matched to each other, so that they are synchronized in terms of cycle time. An independent claim is included for an apparatus for synchronizing at least tow TTCAN Busses.
