Abstract
A controller has a microcomputer, an electrically erasable and programmable memory which has a control program (CONTROL), a read only memory and a serial interface. A serial data transmission line can be connected to the serial interface. A program (PROG) for reprogramming the electrically erasable and programmable memory is stored in the read only memory. For reprogramming the electrically erasable and programmable memory, the controller receives the data, which are to be programmed, via the serial data transmission line from an external communications apparatus.
