Data bus for several users
First Claim
1. Data bus for several users, whereina) the users possess hierarchical data communication signal transmission authorizations, b) the users are synchronized by a synchronization signal, and c) the data communication signal of a user with the highest priority, which data communication signal the user emits at regular intervals, is used as the synchronization signal in place of a clock pulse generator synchronization signal.

Abstract
In the case of a data bus for several users, the users have hierarchical transmission authorizations; the users are synchronized by a synchronization signal; and the communication of the user with the highest priority, which can be emitted at regular time intervals by this user, serves as a synchronization signal.

1. Data bus for several users, wherein
a) the users possess hierarchical data communication signal transmission authorizations, b) the users are synchronized by a synchronization signal, and c) the data communication signal of a user with the highest priority, which data communication signal the user emits at regular intervals, is used as the synchronization signal in place of a clock pulse generator synchronization signal.

5. A method for operating a data bus on which several users are arranged, the method comprising the acts of:
-
assigning hierarchical data communication signal transmission authorization to the several users on the data bus;
synchronizing hierarchical transmission of the users via a synchronization signal; and
using as the synchronization signal, the data communication signals of the user assigned a highest priority that is capable of transmitting said data communication signals at regular intervals in place of a clock pulse generator synchronization signal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
