1. A bus system comprising:
- at least two TTCAN data buses, a first number of users greater than zero being connected to a first one of the TTCAN data buses and a second number of users greater than zero connected to a second one of the TTCAN data buses, the first and second TTCAN buses being communicatively interlinked by at least one user that is connected simultaneously to both of the first and second TTCAN buses, wherein a number of the at least one user that is connected simultaneously to both of the first and second TTCAN buses is fewer than a sum of the first and second numbers; and
a generating arrangement to generate a scalable fault tolerance in the bus system as a function of the number of the at least one user that is connected simultaneously to the first and second TTCAN buses.

Abstract
A bus system includes at least two data buses, the first data bus having a first number of users and the second data bus having a second number of users. At least two TTCAN buses, which are interlinked by users connected simultaneously to both TTCAN buses, are used as the data buses. Fewer users than the sum of the number of users of the first TTCAN bus and the number of users of the second TTCAN bus are connected to the two TTCAN buses at the same time. A generating arrangement is included to generate a scalable fault tolerance in the bus system as a function of the number of users connected to the at least two TTCAN buses at the same time.
