Abstract: A process for automatically detecting and configuring with the throughput of a network, in which a device: (a) goes into a listen mode; (b) obtains a triplet of successive transitions in a transmitted signal, the triplet delimiting first and second signal levels, one dominant and the other recessive; (c) measures the duration of each of the first and second levels; (d) as a function of the measured durations, obtains a new throughput configuration by determining values for parameters that define a bit length LBIT; (e) validates the new throughput configuration; (g) if at least one throughput adaptation condition is verified, goes into a normal mode, otherwise obtains a next transition of the signal, which delimits with the last previous transition a new level of the signal, then measures the duration of the new level and reiterates steps (d) to (g) taking account of the new signal level.

Abstract: A method for automatic detection of the network data rate and for configuration at the detected data rate by a device connected to the network. This method includes an initialisation phase and an interative processing phase. The initialisation phase includes the following steps: the device is put into listening mode, in which it can receive messages from the network but it cannot send messages on the network; the device is initialised with an initial data rate configuration; a first timeout is started.

Abstract: A process for automatically detecting throughput of a network by a device. The network transmits a signal on which messages are carried that include bits of length LBIT and of a dominant or recessive type.
