Abstract:
1. A data transmission assembly for forwarding data received from a first device, and intended for a second device, to the second device, the first device and the second device being part of a module containing the data transmission assembly, the data transmission assembly comprising: a data transmission device connected to a first internal bus of the module; a further data transmission device connected to a second internal bus of the module; the data to be transmitted from the first device to the second device being transmitted via the first internal bus to said data transmission device, and from said data transmission device to said further data transmission device via a connection connecting said data transmission device and said further data transmission device to one another, and from said further data transmission device via the second internal bus to the second device; said data transmission device transmitting to the second device not only the data to be forwarded to the second device but also information about a place to which the data to be forwarded need to be transmitted within the second device, said data transmission device ascertaining the information about the place to which the data to be forwarded need to be transmitted within the second device from an address used to address said data transmission device when the data to be forwarded was supplied to said data transmission device; and said further data transmission device being able to become a bus master on said second internal bus, said further data transmission device forwarding the data to be forwarded via said second internal bus to the second device at its own behest.
