Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019016299A1] A timestamp unit (50) and a communication control unit (11) for a subscriber station (10) of a communication network are provided. The timestamp unit (50) comprises a memory (500) configured for the cyclical storage of a timestamp (501 to 50N) of a message (5; 4, 5) that is transmitted via the communication network, an address counter (5000) able to be incremented with each storage of a timestamp (501 to 50N) of a message (5; 4, 5) such that the value of the address counter (5000) corresponds to an address at which the timestamp (501 to 50N) is stored in the memory (500), a first interface (51) to a host control unit (71) via which the timestamp (501 to 50N) of a message (5; 4, 5) is able to be captured, and a second interface (55, 56, 57) to a communication control device (11) of the communication network configured to create or read at least one message (5; 4, 5) for/from the subscriber station (10), wherein the interface (55, 56, 57) has at least one connection (55; 56) for receiving a trigger signal (S_Rx, S_Tx, S_Tx_Rx) from the communication control device (11), which signal initiates the capturing of a timestamp (501 to 50N), and wherein the interface (55, 56, 57) has a connection (55; 56) for sending a signal (S_CNT) to the communication control device (11), which has the value of the address counter (5000).
