ABSTRACT:
A method and arrangement for the transmission of data, in digital form, in a bus system, which includes a central unit, several stations, as well as a bus line or data bus. During operation, the following different transmission phases take place: An initiation phase, in which the central control unit queries all of the stations and prepares a request phase; the request phase, in which the individual stations report a required bus access; an allocation phase, in which each station obtains a time slot in response to its request; and a data phase, for transmission of the data. The central unit includes a phase control, a request collector, a time slot allocator, and a register. A number of the stations are provided with a request generator in such a way that the latter can signal a need to the bus access. Thus, an optimum utilization of the transmission capacity is achieved, possibly by switching stations off. However, a rapid bus access is possible at any time for important stations.
