The present invention relates to a method for transmitting multiturn modulo control axis data which includes at least one control axis position value (600°-604°; 245°-248°) and an associated control axis modulo value (720°; 360°) in one communication system which includes at least two participants, at least one real-time data transmission channel (CH1) being provided for the cyclic transmission of data between the participants; the at least one control axis position value (600°-604°; 245°-248°) is transmitted together with the associated control axis modulo value (720°; 360°) in one data telegram (22; 33).
