Data transmission method having a data line which is separate from a data bus and is designed as a chain
First Claim
1. Method for controlling the transmission of information between electronic components, preferably in a motor vehicle, which either supply information or process it and which are connected linearly to each other and also to a controlling component via a data bus, said method comprisingactively connecting a component for transmitting the information and least one component for processing the information by the controlling component, andfeeding the information into a data line, which is separate from the data bus and connects all the components to each other wherein the data line is designed as a chain, such that data are sent along the chain via bypass circuits.

Abstract
A method for controlling the transmission of information between electronic components in a motor vehicle, which components can be either data sources or data sinks, in which a cascade design is used to facilitate the transmission of information. By separating the control signal from the actual streams of data, a flexible, chain type of structure is obtained.
