Oliver,
Still learning myself. Considering the actual implementation was for cars, I would suspect that the protocol would allow for devices to go off line without killing the whole thing. So I am wondering what actually would cause the effect described above with a loss of a single device. Having seen the internal destruction on some Jaguars, it is always possible that an internal failure could have taken out the transceiver and shut down (shorted) the bus. In that condition, I would guess it is possible for the Crio to keep attempting to transmit data and do nothing else. I do not have any data to suggest that is what happened, just that it is possible. I bet Jim Zondag would know or at least could render an opinion.
