Abstract

A method for transferring data between a data transmission system and a processor of a participant in the data transmission system. All components of the data transmission system are synchronized to a common global time base. The operating system time base of the participant processor is synchronized to the global time base of the data transmission system at least prior to a data transfer, and, to this end, a synchronization clock pulse that is synchronous to the global time base of the data transmission system is provided for synchronizing the operating system time base. This synchronization clock pulse may be provided by a hardware and/or software arrangement. In a data transmission system for implementing the method, the synchronization clock pulse is provided by suitable arrangement(s) of the communications controller and applied to the host processor via a synchronization line.
