Abstract
A data network has at least three line branches connected via a common star node to distribute message signals from one of the line branches onto the other line branches, wherein connected to at least one of the line branches is at least one bus-user device is configured to generate in a corresponding transmit mode by a corresponding transmit unit at least one of the message signals, wherein in the corresponding bus-user device, the transmit unit has a current source circuit which, in generating the message signal (), is configured to inject an electric current into electrical lines of the line branch to which the bus-user device is connected, and via the current source circuit the lines are connected to an internal impedance value of the current source circuit that in transmit mode is constantly greater than 10 times the value of the characteristic impedance, for example greater than 500 Ohms.
