Method for synchronizing subscribers gives each subscriber waiting to be synchronized an individual timing unit to stay in contact via a communications connection by depending on the synchronization of global times.

摘要

A bus system (100) has multiple bus subscribers (101-104), each of which has individual timing units (105-108) that are displayed on an internal device like a clock, a counter or a pulse generator. Each selected subscriber can transmit an event on the bus system or communications connection, through which single subscribers each detect an individual global time at this event and an individual view of the global time for the system. An Independent claim is also included for a system for synchronizing two or more subscribers.
