Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a system for transmitting data of a data type to be transmitted cyclically and of a data type which can be transmitted acyclically via a common transmission channel from a first participant unit connected to the transmission channel to at least one further participant unit connected to the transmission channel. The invention proposes to develop a method based on a protocol-specific cyclic transmission sequence of transmission messages for transmitting data of a data type to be transmitted cyclically via a transmission channel. When a particular type of impending transmission message is detected for which redundant data of the data type to be transmitted cyclically are provided without new information content, instead of these data, data of a data type which can be transmitted acyclically are inserted into the data area provided for data of this data type to be transmitted cyclically.
