PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-module force-measuring device for simply and efficiently designing and operating a measuring device that is excellent in a measuring speed, measurement accuracy and stability, and to provide a force-measuring module. SOLUTION: A method and associated apparatus transmits measurement values in a multi-module weighing device 200 provided with at least two force-measuring modules 210. Each of the force-measuring modules includes a force-measuring cell 220 and a signal-processing unit 230 which transmits the measurement values generated by the force-measuring cell by way of a signal line to a signal-evaluating unit 270. Under the method, each measurement value is converted into a bit sequence (B<SB>1</SB>, B<SB>2</SB>, ..., B<SB>n</SB>) by the respective signal-processing unit. The first force-measuring module's bit sequence is transmitted to the signal-evaluating unit, and the bit sequences of the signal-processing unit of at least another force-measuring module are transmitted by way of the signal-processing unit of the first force-measuring module to the signal-evaluating unit.
