Abstract
A method for transmitting data from at least one sensor to a control unit is described, a value range, which is available for encoding the data to be transmitted, being divided into three portions. The first portion is used for the sensor values. The second portion is used for status signals and error signals, and the third portion is used for sensor identification data, the three portions being separated from one another and following in succession.

10. A method for transmitting data from at least one sensor to a control unit, a line being used for each of the at least one sensor and a predefined value range being available for the data, the method comprising:
-
using a first portion of the value range for at least one sensor value;
using a second portion of the value range for one of at least one status signal and at least one error signal;
using a third portion of the value range for sensor identification data;
separating the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion from each other; and
causing the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion to follow each other in succession. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
