ABSTRACT:
A clock signal loading device for a processor of a controller connected to a network and a clock signal loading method are provided. The device includes a first oscillator for generating a clock signal that can be loaded to the processor, a controllable clock signal changer for changing the clock signal generated by the first oscillator, and a control device connected to the network for generating a control signal for controlling the clock signal changer as a function of the communication signals transmitted over the network. This device and method allows the frequency of the clock signal needed by the processor to be tuned in a simple and flexible manner.
