  • Patent number: 11284229
    Abstract: A sensor control circuit periodically transmits packets in synchronism with a one-by-one monotonous change in count values from a real-time clock circuit. The count values repeat the change within a predetermined numerical value range. The sensor control circuit transmits the count values by adding them to the packets. A collection control circuit acquires values of a reference clock synchronized with a reference time of an upper network from a reference clock generation circuit in accordance with reception of the packets, stores the values in a storage circuit as time stamps representing arrival times of the packets, performs statistical processing of the time stamps and the count values concerning the packets received, and corrects the time stamps based on an packet transmission interval and a reference arrival time representing the arrival time of a head packet, which are obtained from the statistical processing.
