Abstract:
An object is to provide a relay apparatus capable of detecting a failure that occurs in the relay apparatus. A relay apparatus ( 10 ) according to the present disclosure includes a data reception unit ( 11 ) configured to receive a synchronizing packet transmitted from a master apparatus ( 20 ), the synchronizing packet containing a time value and a time correction value for correcting the time value, an update unit ( 12 ) configured to update the time correction value based on a processing time for the synchronizing packet, and a determination unit ( 13 ) configured to determine whether or not a failure has occurred in a functional block related to a process for updating the time correction value by using a result of a comparison between a corrected time value and a reference time value, the corrected time value having been corrected by using the updated time correction value.

Claim (Index 13):
A failure detection method comprising:\n receiving a synchronizing packet transmitted from a master apparatus, the synchronizing packet containing a time value and a time correction value for correcting the time value; updating the time correction value based on a processing time for the synchronizing packet; and determining whether or not a failure has occurred in a functional block related to a process for updating the time correction value by using a result of a comparison between a corrected time value and a reference time value, the corrected time value having been corrected by using the updated time correction value.
