Time triggered definition
Time triggered means that all activities involving the bus, and often those involving components attached to the bus, are driven by the passage of time (“if it’s 20 ms since the start of the frame, then read the sensor and broadcast its value”); this is distinguished from “event triggered,” which means that activities are driven by the occurrence of events (“if the sensor reading changes, then broadcast its new value”). A time-triggered system inter- acts with the world according to an internal schedule, whereas an event-triggered system responds to stimuli that are outside its control.
