Abstract
A communication system and a method for operating a communication system, the communication system having a CAN bus and at least two devices connected with the aid of the CAN bus. Such a device has a CAN control unit, an asynchronous, serial communication (ASC) interface unit, and a switch. The CAN control unit is suitable for transmitting, in a first transmission mode, CAN data frames over the CAN bus with the aid of a first physical protocol. The asynchronous, serial communication interface unit or ASC interface unit is suitable for transmitting, in a second transmission mode, ASC data frames over the CAN bus with the aid of a second physical protocol. The switch is designed for switching over between the first transmission mode and the second transmission mode as a function of at least one agreement effective between the device and at least one other device.
