Claim Text:
1. A device for transmitting sensor data, comprising: a first slave interface connectable to a master interface of a control device; a first master interface connectable to a slave interface of a measuring device; at least one sensor interface connectable to a sensor; and a circuit configuration including a manipulation unit and a protocol unit; wherein the manipulation unit is adapted to receive a master-data input signal of the first master interface and a sensor-data output signal and to output a slave-data output signal to the first slave interface; wherein the protocol unit is adapted to receive (a) at least one protocol-relevant interface signal of the first slave interface or of the first master interface and (b) a sensor-data signal of the sensor interface; wherein the protocol unit is adapted to generate the sensor-data output signal from the sensor-data signal; and wherein the protocol unit is adapted to select, based on manipulation rules and the at least one protocol-relevant interface signal, when the manipulation unit outputs the master-data input signal of the first master interface or the sensor-data output signal as the slave-data output signal.
