Method for transferring transmission data from a transmitter to a receiver for processing the transmission data and means for carrying out the method

A transmitting device for sending at least one transmittal data block, for example in the form of a sensor or a part of an evaluation device, to a receiving device comprising:

• a transmission buffer for the at least partially and temporarily storing data of the transmittal data block, the data of the transmittal block being sensor data of a sensor for the examination of value documents,
• an Ethernet interface, and
• is designed to form a sequence of Ethernet packets from the transmittal data block which respectively comprise management data and a transmittal data sub-block formed from the respective transmittal data block, so that the transmittal data sub-blocks of the Ethernet packets of the sequence comprise the data of the transmittal data block,
• wherein the management data comprise management data from which is establishable whether one of the Ethernet packets is the last Ethernet packet of the sequence, and to send the Ethernet packets via the Ethernet interface,
• wherein a processor of the receiving device that at least partially processes the sent transmittal data at least partially evaluates the sensor data, and
• wherein the processor of the receiving device at least partially evaluates the sent transmittal data block while a subsequent transmittal data block is received from the transmitting device.

A receiving device for receiving sequences of the Ethernet packets which are formable by a transmitting device and contain respectively transmittal data sub-blocks of a transmittal data block, comprising:

• a storage for storing a transferred transmittal data block, data of the transmittal block being sensor data of a sensor for the examination of value documents,
• a processor for at least partially processing the transmittal data block stored in the storage, and
• a receiving portion which is designed for receiving sequences of Ethernet packets having data of the transmittal data block and writing respectively the transmittal data sub-blocks contained in the received Ethernet packets while employing at least a part of the management data in the storage,
• wherein the receiving portion is further designed such that the receiving portion does not send an interrupt to the processor upon or after the writing of each of the transmittal data sub-blocks,
• wherein the processor at least partially processing the transferred transmittal data block stored in the storage comprises at least partially evaluating the sensor data, and
• wherein the processor at least partially evaluates the transferred transmittal data block while a subsequent transmittal data block is received.
