  • transmitting the messages containing the data by the stations over the bus system;

    controlling the messages over time by a first station so that the first station repeatedly transmits a reference message over the bus system at at least one specifiable time interval, the reference message including a time information of the first station, the time interval divided into time windows of specifiable length, the messages transmitted in the time windows;

    combining into at least one first cycle a reference message and subsequent time windows until a next reference message; and

    stopping the transmission at the end of the first cycle by a stop request occurring at any point in time during the first cycle.
