Abstract
A subscriber station for a serial bus system. The subscriber station has a communication control device for controlling a communication of the subscriber station with at least one other subscriber station, a transmitting/receiving device for transmitting a transmission signal generated by the communication control device, and a scheduling unit for scheduling a temporal access of the subscriber station to the bus in at least one time slot of a cycle of temporally consecutive time slots. At least one time slot is provided in a cycle for each subscriber station of the bus for transmitting its transmission signal and the cycle repeats cyclically. The scheduling unit determines, together with the other subscriber stations of the bus in the operation of the bus system using a priority of the transmission signal, which time slot of the cycle the transmitting/receiving device may use for transmitting the transmission signal on the bus.
