Abstract
A method transmits temporally successive datasets of a position sensor via an Ethernet network, wherein a respective dataset of the position sensor consists of a maximum of 4 bits. The method includes the steps of: continuous reading, by a reference component connected to the Ethernet network, of the datasets of the position sensor which are to be transmitted; and continuous writing, by the reference component, of a respective dataset to a 4-bit transmit register of a Media Independent Interface of the reference component.

A method for transmitting temporally successive datasets of a position sensor via an Ethernet network, wherein a respective dataset of the position sensor consists of a maximum of 4 bits, the method comprising:
- continuous reading, by a reference component connected to the Ethernet network, of the datasets of the position sensor which are to be transmitted;
- and
- continuous writing, by the reference component, of a respective dataset to a 4-bit transmit register of a Media Independent Interface of the reference component.
An electrical drive system comprising:
- an Ethernet network;
- a position sensor;
- a reference component coupled with the position sensor and connected to the Ethernet network;
- and
- a number of receiver components connected to the Ethernet network, wherein
- the electrical drive system operates to transmit temporally successive datasets of the position sensor via the Ethernet network, wherein a respective dataset of the position sensor consists of a maximum of 4 bits, by:
- continuous reading, by the reference component connected to the Ethernet network, of the datasets of the position sensor which are to be transmitted;
- and
- continuous writing, by the reference component, of a respective dataset to a 4-bit transmit register of a Media Independent Interface of the reference component.
