Abstract

A communication system configuration has an annular design and includes multiple participants which are serially interconnected, one participant being configured as a master and the remaining participants being configured as slaves. The master is configured for transmitting a data packet to one or a plurality of slaves, and each slave has a shift register. The communication system includes a participant which has an external interface and is adapted for receiving data via the external interface from outside of the communication system to implement a debugging or a programming of one or a plurality of participants of the communication system or for transmitting data to outside of the communication system.
