Method of transmitting data between devices connected via a multi-master bus defining a time slot during transmission for responsive output information from non-bus master devices

摘要

In the novel device and the novel method the data to be transmitted is transmitted in units together with information that is required or useful for the transmission and/or the use of the data. At least some of the units comprise at least one region which defines a time slot within which freely selectable devices can output onto the bus data representing freely selectable information at freely selectable points in time.
