Abstract:
A bus system having at least two control devices, each of which has a bus driver. The bus drivers are connected together via at least two bus lines, each of which is equipped with at least one coupling capacitor. A terminal network is connected to the bus lines and consists of at least two resistors and a capacitor; each of the two resistors is connected to one of the bus lines and the resistors are connected together at a central tap. The capacitor of the terminal network lies between the central tap and a ground connection, and the bus system has a reference voltage source. The reference voltage source is connected to the central tap via an element. The voltage of the reference voltage source has a value between an operating voltage of the bus system and ground.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for diagnosing a short circuit in a bus line in a bus system, wherein the bus system comprises at least two control devices, which each have a bus driver, wherein the bus drivers are connected to one another at least two bus lines on each of which at least one coupling capacitor is arranged, wherein a termination network is connected to the bus lines, the termination network including at least two resistors and a capacitor, wherein the two resistors are each connected to one of the bus lines and a center tap of the termination network between the center tap and a ground connection, wherein a reference voltage source having a voltage level between an operating voltage and ground is connected to the center tap by an element, wherein at least one control device detects the voltage level at the center tap and identifies a short circuit when the voltage level changes from the set voltage level based on the reference voltage source by a prescribed value.
