Abstract: A sensor transmitter device for transmitting the payload data of a sensor to a bus control device is described, the sensor transmitter device being connectable to a data bus of a vehicle, which is configured for simultaneous transmission of bus data packets between a plurality of sensor transmitter devices and a bus control device. The bus data packets should include at least one signaling field and one payload data field having a plurality of payload data blocks. The sensor transmitter device includes a sensor interface for receiving payload data which represent a physical variable and a memory which is configured for storing position information which identifies at least one payload data block from the payload data field, which is reserved exclusively for the transmission of payload data from the sensor transmitter device to the bus control device.
