Method for recording a time-related data record assembled from sub-data records from multiple control devices, records the record in a system operating with a distributed configuration

摘要

A data-receiving control device (100) e.g. for diagnostics incorporates a data-capture module (120) and is networked to multiple control devices (20,30,40) via a serial bus (50) that record associated sub-data records used to compile a time-related data record. Sub-data records are captured by the control devices through multiple scans (1) of data at consecutive points in time (ti). An Independent claim is also included for a system networked via a serial data bus for carrying out the method of the present invention.
