<p>In a device and a method for serial data transmission between a position-measuring device and a control unit, made up of an interface unit on the control side and an interface unit on the measuring-device side, which are connected to each other for the transmission of serial data packets with the aid of a bidirectional data channel, the interface unit on the control side includes a control-side transmitter unit for transmitting serial data packets via the data channel to a measuring-device-side receiver unit disposed in the interface unit on the measuring-device side. The interface unit on the measuring-device side includes a measuring-device-side transmitter unit for transmitting serial data packets via the data channel to a control-side receiver unit disposed in the interface unit on the control side. Data packets transmitted by the control-side transmitter unit include a clock sequence at the beginning, from whose time characteristic it is possible to derive the frequency of a control-side transmitter clock signal underlying the transmission. The receiver unit on the measuring-device side includes a measuring-device-side clock-recognition unit which evaluates the clock sequence and, in order to read in control-side output data included in the data packet, generates a measuring-device-side receiver clock signal, whose frequency corresponds to a great extent to that of the transmitter clock signal on the control side.</p> |
