Abstract:
1. A method for transferring data between a position-measuring device and an associated processing unit, the method comprising: transferring first data having a first priority in successive cycles from the position-measuring device to the processing unit, the successive cycles being in each case initiated by a request command by the processing unit requesting the first data from the position-measuring device; transferring second data having a second, lower priority from the position-measuring device to the processing unit in at least a portion of the successive cycles with the first data, wherein types of the second data being transferred in a respective one of the successive cycles are variable; assigning at least one particular type, of the types of the second data to be transferred, to individual cycles of the successive cycles using information stored in the position-measuring device without involvement of the processing unit; and defining sequences of the second data, for use in the assigning, in an order defined by at least one transmission list stored in a memory of the position-measuring device.
