  • Electronic monitoring device having wake-up for daisy chain
    Patent number: 9672186
    Abstract: A monitoring device has an event monitor, an uplink interface to a chain controller device, and a downlink interface to a further monitoring device, and a daisy controller for coupling the uplink to the chain downlink. The event monitor, in response to detecting an event in sleep mode, generates a wake-up signal. The daisy controller sets the electronic monitoring device to a wake-up request mode and disables the bidirectional data communication via the downlink interface, and subsequently transmits a wake-up request to the chain controller device via the uplink interface. In response to receiving a wake-up command, the daisy controller re-enables the bidirectional data communication via the downlink interface and sets the electronic monitoring device to the operational mode. Thereby a wake-up sequence is performed while the wake-up request mode avoids bus conflicts.
