Patent number: 7924888
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for exchanging data between stations or nodes (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143) from different realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) and from non-realtime capable networks (110). To this end, data is generated in a realtime capable network (120, 130, 140), a time stamp is added, and at least two of the realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) are synchronized with one another. The invention also relates to a method for exchanging data between stations or nodes (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143) from realtime capable networks (120, 130, 140) and from non-realtime capable networks (110), during which trigger signals of different stations (111, 121, 122, 123, 131, 132, 133, 141, 142, 143), particularly from different networks (110, 120, 130, 140) are combined or linked.
