Utility
Data transmission method between a primary master and primary slave via a bus line and between sub-slaves via the same bus line
11 May 21
Method for digital, bidirectional data transmission between a position measuring system (3-7) and a motor control device (1) and/or an evaluation unit based on the transmission of frames (34, 35, 36) of a predefined bit length in chronologically sequential time slots (28-30), wherein a primary master (1) communicates via a two wire bus line (2) with the position measuring system (3-7) and/or the motor unit (11, 14) and/or the evaluation unit with a primary slave (3) disposed there, and that additional sub-slaves (12, 15) can be coupled in parallel to the primary slave (3), which sub-slaves communicate on the same bus line (2), which the primary master (1) uses with the primary slave (3).
