Abstract
A method for the transmission of data messages in a switched cyclical communication system () with a linear or ring arrangement of the users. Real-time critical data messages are transmitted in a first segment () of a transmission cycle (), without the need to first plan the send and receive instants in the forwarding users, such that the chronological start () of the first segment () of a transmission cycle () is guaranteed by all users in all transmission cycles through monitoring. The duration of the first segment () of a transmission cycle () can be fixedly specified or automatically adjusted using a timeout procedure.
