A subscriber station for a serial bus system. The subscriber station encompasses: a communication control device for controlling communication with at least one further subscriber station of the bus system; a transmission/reception device for receiving a message from a bus of the bus system, which message was created by the communication control device or by the at least one further subscriber station of the bus system and is being transferred on the bus; an interference detection unit that is configured to detect interference in the context of transfer of the message on the bus; and an interference processing unit that is configured to evaluate the interference detected by the interference detection unit in terms of the nature and magnitude of the interference, and to adapt communication control by the communication control device to the result of the evaluation of the interference.

Efficient virus detection and removal are realized by changing a mode of collecting logs in accordance with a network usage status. A configuration includes a processing monitoring unit that executes processing of monitoring a data communication network, and the processing monitoring unit includes a system load monitoring unit that monitors an available bandwidth of a network and a virus monitoring unit that collects log information corresponding to a communication message and performs virus detection. The virus monitoring unit changes a mode of collecting log information in accordance with information regarding the available bandwidth of the network acquired by the system load monitoring unit. In a case where a virus is detected and the available bandwidth is neither equal to nor larger than a predetermined threshold, only limited log information corresponding to a high-priority communication message is collected.

A processing system includes a transmission terminal configured to provide a transmission signal, a reception terminal configured to receive a reception signal, a microprocessor programmable via software instructions, a memory controller configured to be connected to a memory, a serial communication interface, and a communication system. Specifically, the serial communication interface supports a CAN FD Light mode of operation and a UART mode of operation. For this purpose, the serial communication interface comprises a control register, a clock management circuit, a transmission shift register, a transmission control circuit, a reception shift register and a reception control circuit. Accordingly, the microprocessor can transmit and/or receive CAN FD Light or UART frames via the same serial communication interface.

Secure serial bus communication methods and devices suitable for automotive applications. An illustrative sensor IC includes: a sensor controller that operates a transducer to obtain measurement data formattable as data packets; a scrambler that masks each data packet with a scrambling operation before that data block is sent via a serial bus to a bus controller device, said scrambling operation having a secret configuration and/or secret initial state; and an integrated circuit component that operates on a seed value to derive the secret configuration and/or secret initial state.

A circuit for a bus system. The circuit includes: a measuring circuit, which is configured to measure a first resistance value between two bus-side terminals of the circuit; an ascertainment circuit, which is configured to ascertain a second resistance value as a function of the first resistance value; and a resistive circuit, which is configured to set a resistor connectable between the two bus-side terminals to the second resistance value.

A system includes a programmable logic control (PLC) module, an input/output (IO) network bus coupled to the PLC module and provided at facets of a mainframe. A first process chamber attached to a first facet of the facets. A chamber interface IO sub-module is attached to the first facet and coupled to the IO network bus and to a process chamber IO controller of the first process chamber. The chamber interface IO sub-module is to: convert interlock relay signals, received via dry contact exchange with the process chamber IO controller, to digital signals; combine the digital signals into network packets adapted for communication using a protocol of the IO network bus; and transmit the network packets to the PLC module over the IO network bus.

Disclosed herein are a method for managing an access control list based on an automotive Ethernet and an apparatus for the same. The method includes analyzing a new access control rule that is input to a vehicle in which the automotive Ethernet is applied, searching for any one target unit to manage the new access control rule in consideration of at least one of a destination and an application target corresponding to the new access control rule, and storing the new access control rule by transmitting a storage request message corresponding to the new access control rule to the target unit.

An in-vehicle communication device on a transmitting side of a message includes: a delay time measuring unit measuring a delay time from when transmission of a message is first attempted to when the transmission of the message is started; and an assigning unit assigning the delay time measured by the delay time measuring unit to the message. An in-vehicle communication device on a receiving side of a message includes: a reception point acquisition unit acquiring a point in time when a message from the in-vehicle communication device on the transmitting side is received; a delay time acquisition unit acquiring a delay time assigned to the received message; and a calculation unit calculating a transmission cycle of each message based on a point in time acquired by the reception point acquisition unit and a delay time acquired by the delay time acquisition unit for each of two received messages.

An anomaly detection server is provided. The anomaly detection server is a server for counteracting an anomalous frame transmitted on an on-board network of a single vehicle. The anomaly detection server acquires information about multiple frames received on one or multiple on-board networks of one or multiple vehicles, including the single vehicle. The anomaly detection server, acting as an assessment unit that, based on the information about the multiple frames and information about a frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle after the acquisition of the information about the multiple frames, assesses an anomaly level of the frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle.

An anomaly detection device is located between a network and a first ECU in the plurality of ECUs, and includes: a communication circuit; a processor; and a memory including a set of instructions that, when executed, causes the processor to perform operations including: receiving a message from the first ECU and transmitting the message to the network, and receiving a message from the network and transmitting the message to the first ECU, using the communication circuit; holding, in the memory, a received ID list; when an ID of the message received by the communication circuit from the network is not included in the received ID list, adding the ID to the received ID list; and when an ID of the message received by the communication circuit from the first ECU is included in the received ID list, causing the communication circuit not to transmit the message to the network.
