Abstract
The bridge module is connected between at least two bus systems and is suitable for serial data transfer of binary data from one of the bus systems to the other one of the bus systems. A single memory device is provided for buffer storage of the data during a data transfer. The data transfer, which is controlled exclusively by the data to be transmitted, is thus carried out in a simple manner and completely automatically, without the interposition of a processor unit. It is thereby possible very easily and thus also at an attractive cost to specify a module which is suitable for the data transfer between different bus systems.
