Abstract
The present invention relates to a device () for wireless transmission of data and/or power between the device and another device of a system, in particular of a patient monitoring system. To meet stringent relative time errors at low complexity the device comprises a connector () comprising a data transmission unit () and a magnetic coupling unit () for transmitting power to and/or receiving power. A detection unit () detects coupling of a counterpart connector of another device of the system with the connector (). A control unit () uses the detection that a counterpart connector of another device of the system has been coupled with the connector () as a trigger to determine and/or reset a relative time difference between a clock signal used by the device and a clock signal of the other device using i) the high frequency power signal of the magnetic coupling unit () and of a magnetic coupling unit of the counterpart connector and/or ii) a received time calibration signal for determining and/or resetting the relative time difference.
