  • Publication number: 20240250717
    Abstract: A bus station, a two-wire bus system, and methods for transmitting data in a two-wire bus system. The method includes: supplying a variable battery voltage to a first bus station and a second bus station, and transmitting data from the first bus station to the second bus station using a modulation signal that is superposed on the variable battery voltage, wherein the modulation signal is adjusted to follow a level of the variable battery voltage in a predefined manner.

  • Publication number: 20230283501
    Abstract: A sensor assembly of a vehicle. The sensor includes a control device, a multitude of sensors, each sensor having an individual sensor identifier, a data bus, which connects each sensor to the control device, and a supply line, which connects each sensor to the control device for a voltage supply. Each sensor has a shunt resistor. All shunt resistors are integrated in series into the supply line. Each sensor is developed to detect a voltage drop at its respective shunt resistor. The control device is developed to actuate each sensor with the aid of the individual sensor identifier and to assign an individual geographical address to each sensor based on the detected voltage drops along the supply line.
