Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for communicating machine control data of a mechatronic system in a network having publisher and subscriber network users that send control data via the network using a data interchange standard that supports a publish/subscribe communication model. In order to make such a method simple, fast and robust, it is proposed that a machine controller of the mechatronic system can be configured indiscriminately as a subscriber or publisher network user to communicate the control data, As a publisher, the machine controller provides the control data with a message identifier, encodes them as a network message using the data interchange standard and sends the network message via the network. As subscriber, the machine controller receives a network message intended therefor using a message identifier via the network and decodes the network message as control data using the data interchange standard.
