Abstract: Method for digital, bidirectional data transmission between a position measuring system (3-7) and a motor control device (1) and/or an evaluation unit based on the transmission of frames (34, 35, 36) of a predefined bit length in chronologically sequential time slots (28-30), wherein a primary master (1) communicates via a two wire bus line (2) with the position measuring system (3-7) and/or the motor unit (11, 14) and/or the evaluation unit with a primary slave (3) disposed there, and that additional sub-slaves (12, 15) can be coupled in parallel to the primary slave (3), which sub-slaves communicate on the same bus line (2), which the primary master (1) uses with the primary slave (3).

Abstract: A method for data transmission between an encoder and a motor and/or actuator control unit via an insecure multi-channel channel, the multi-channel channel being formed as a black channel that forms a non-secure transmission channel that is verified by a higher-level or downstream instance, wherein an additional security protocol is superimposed on the black channel, comprising the non-secure protocol thereof, and the secure protocol transmits additional data, relating to the transmission via the black channel, to two mutually independent evaluation units which generate a verifiable redundancy that is evaluated in a downstream functional module.

Abstract: Method for operating a multi-channel rotary encoder comprising at least one printed circuit board on which one or a plurality of functional units (1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3, 4) are arranged as integrated components and are interconnected, at least one position transducer (6, 7) generating absolute and incremental measurement values which are each fed to a control unit (5) by means of at least one channel (37, 38), the control unit being disposed as a management and safety monitoring unit and controlling a downstream-connected machine, wherein the rotary encoder consists of at least three functional units (1, 2, 3), that the position transducer (6) is arranged in a first functional unit (1) and generates absolute location-position values (9) in this functional unit (1), which are fed by a second functional unit (2), which is connected as an interface, as first secure data (39) by means of the first secure channel (37) to the control unit (5), and that the position transducer (6) feeds its incremental measurement val
