Abstract
The invention relates to a method for temperature management in a network () with ring topology, wherein control devices () exchange data via the network () by means of transmitting/receiving units. The object of the present invention is to find a method and a data bus system which increases the fail safety of a network () with ring topology. For this purpose, the temperature near to the transmitting/measuring unit of at least one control device () is measured. As soon as the temperature at the transmitting/receiving unit () of the control device exceeds a predefined critical temperature T, the transmitting/receiving unit is switched off and wakeup requests put onto the network () by the control devices () are blocked.
