Abstract
The invention relates to a method and system for secure transmission of process data to be transmitted cyclically in a cyclical data transmission to be performed protocol-specifically via a transmission channel between a user functioning as a master and at least one user functioning as a slave that are connected to the transmission channel. Within a transmission protocol frame, a time slot that can always accommodate the same number of bits independently of the data to be transmitted is assigned to each slave during a data transmission cycle. For safety-relevant process data that is to be transmitted during a data transmission cycle from a slave to at least one additional user, or that is to be transmitted during a data transmission cycle from a user to at least one slave, additional first protection data for recognizing error-free transmission of this safety-relevant process data is generated and transmitted in each case.
