Fault-Tolerant Communication in Large-Scale Manipulators

Abstract. In this paper concepts for fault-tolerant communication systems in large-scale manipulators for heavy weights are introduced. This class of robots makes high demands on safety and real-time behaviour of data transmission, which cannot be ful lled by conventional communication systems. According to di erent types of data the communication system has to cope with, two fault-tolerant architectures, based on the CAN-protocol and on the ATM system, are exposed.
