A bus system for real-time communication of a superordinate unit with one or more subordinate units for the exchange of address and data information via a bus,
- characterized wherein,
- for the rapid exchange of messages between fields, further fields are provided for the address and data information.
A method for operating a bus system for the real-time communication of a superordinate unit with one or more subordinate units for the exchange of address information and data information and for the exchange of additional messages comprising the following procedural stages:
- checking whether an internal memory of a subordinate unit contains a message, whenever this subordinate unit receives a message from another subordinate unit;
- entering the received message in the memory, if the memory already contains a message, and communicating the message only if all messages previously-received or entered in the memory have been communicated to the subordinate unit and
- communicating a message directly, whenever the message is received from a subordinate unit and the memory is empty.
