Abstract
The invention relates to an automation device, with which a multiplicity of physically distributed functional units communicate with each other by means of a common transmission protocol. The device has a microcontroller (110), which is assigned at least one clock generator (120) and one memory unit (150), and which is connected at least to one data source (140), which is designed to output a data bit-stream to be transmitted.
Claims2
An automation device, with which a multiplicity of physically distributed functional units communicate with each other by means of a common transmission protocol, having a microcontroller, which is assigned at least one clock generator and one memory unit, and which is connected at least to one data source, which is designed to output a data bit-stream to be transmitted, characterized in that a sequential sequence of equidistant samples of a sinusoidal time profile is stored in the memory unit (150), such that it can be called up, in such a manner that, depending on the data bit-stream, the samples can be alternately output from the first table (151) or from the second table (152) using the same clock.
