Abstract:
1. A method for temperature management in a network, wherein control devices exchange data via the network using transmitting/receiving units and the temperature is measured at at least one control device, the method comprising the acts of: measuring the temperature at the transmitting/receiving unit of at least one control device; switching off the transmitting/receiving unit as soon as the temperature at the transmitting/receiving unit of the at least one control device exceeds a predefined critical temperature T blocking wakeup requests put onto the network via the control devices as soon as the temperature at the transmitting/receiving unit of the control device exceeds a predefined critical temperature T canceling the blocking of the wakeup requests as soon as the temperature of the transmitting/receiving unit has dropped to a temperature below the predefined critical temperature T placing the at least one control device in an energy saving mode as soon as the temperature of the transmitting/receiving unit exceeds the predefined critical temperature T
