Abstract

An electronic communication unit which is in the form of a sensor and/or actuator unit, including at least a first status information processing module having a status memory unit which stores status information for the communication unit in the form of a status data item (stat), wherein the first status information processing module further includes a masking memory unit connected to the status memory unit and also a status processing element connected to the masking memory unit, wherein the first status information processing module is designed such that at least one status information item from the status data item (stat) is selected by the masking memory unit and the resultant selective status data item (sel-stat) is processed by the status processing element such that the output of the latter provides a short status data item (k-stat) which has a shorter data word length than the selective status data item (sel-stat).
