Abstract: An industrial system for controlling backplane communication, including: a cluster manager including a primary switch linked to a primary control module, at least one Input/Output, I/O, module including a secondary switch linked to a secondary control module, a unidirectional communication line linking the cluster manager to the at least one IO module through passive base plates, wherein the cluster manager includes a transmission port and a reception port on the unidirectional communication line and the at least one Input/Output module includes a reception port on the unidirectional communication line, wherein the primary control module is configured to generate a pulse via the transmission port on the unidirectional communication line, wherein, upon reception of the pulse, the primary control module is configured to create a primary timestamp from a primary clock of the primary switch and the secondary control module is configured to create a secondary timestamp from a secondary clock of the secondary sw

Abstract: An industrial system for controlling backplane communication including a cluster manager linked to Input/Output modules via a multipoint low voltage differential signaling, MLVDS, bus through passive base plates. The MLVDS bus contains a transmission line and a reception line for the cluster manager. The transmission line of the MLVDS bus is shared by the Input/Output modules for receiving data transmitted by the cluster manager. The reception line of the MLVDS bus is shared by the Input/Output modules for transmitting data to the cluster manager. The Input/Output modules are synchronized in time with the cluster manager and configured to send data on the reception line of the MLVDS bus at respective scheduled time windows.
