Abstract

A method for the switching of participants of a bus system from a first state with reduced energy consumption to a second state with increased energy consumption relative to the first state, wherein, for communication between the participants of the bus system, data frames are transmitted which comprise, inter alia, a message identification field (e.g. CAN message) and a useful-data field (e.g. CAN payload), wherein, according to said method, each participant, for switching from the first state to the second state, reacts on data frames with respectively predetermined data contents in the message identification field as well as in the useful-data field. Further, in the bus system, for selective switching of a participant from the first state to the second state, those data frames will be transmitted on whose message-identification-field contents and useful data-field-contents the selectively addressable participant reacts.

Claims (8)

1. A method for the switching of participants of a bus system from a first state with reduced energy consumption to a second state with increased energy consumption relative to the first state, wherein, for communication between the participants of the bus system, data frames are transmitted which comprise a message identification field and a useful-data field, wherein, according to said method

each participant, for switching from the first state to the second state, reacts on data frames with respective predetermined data contents in the message identification field as well as in the useful-data field, and

in the bus system, for selective switching of a participant from the first state to the second state, those data frames are transmitted on whose message-identification-field contents and useful data-field-contents the selectively addressable participant reacts.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bus system is a controller area network (CAN) bus system and the predetermined data contents have been stored in a CAN identification (ID) field and a CAN payload field of a CAN data frame.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bus system comprises a local interconnect network (LIN) or FlexRay network.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of participants of the bus system react on the same predetermined data contents in the message identification field and on different, respectively predetermined data contents in the useful-data field.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of participants react on different, respectively predetermined data contents in the message identification field and on different, respectively predetermined data contents in the useful-data field.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of participants react on different, respectively predetermined data contents in the message identification field and on the same predetermined data contents in the useful-data field.
