Abstract:
1. A serial bus transmission system that performs data transmission through a communication channel that is set from one node to at least one other node among a plurality of nodes connected to a serial bus, wherein the serial bus transmission system comprises: a plurality of identification signal time slots; and a plurality of data transmission time slots corresponding to the respective identification signal time slots, wherein a plurality of time slots that are time-divided are alternately allotted to the identification signal time slots and data transmission time slots so that a data transmission time slot directly follows an identification signal time slot, with one of the nodes being allotted to a master node while the other nodes are allotted to slave nodes, wherein the master node includes an identification signal sending unit that sends an identification signal from the master node in the identification signal time slots, the identification signal designating the communication channel; and wherein each of the nodes includes a data transmitting unit that, when said each node matches a node in which a communication channel designated by an identification signal sent in the identification signal time slots is set, performs data transmission through the communication channel, based on set contents of the communication channel, in a data transmission time slot corresponding to the identification signal time slot in which the identification signal has been sent and that directly follows the corresponding identification signal time slot.
