Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method and to a device for synchronising decentralised control devices, which each generate and emit control signals clocked in accordance with their own internal control clock, and to a system having decentralised control devices of this kind. According to the invention, a synchronisation clock is provided by one control device to the other control devices, wherein each of the the other control devices that receive the synchronisation clock determine a clock difference between the provided synchronisation clock and their own internal control clock and, depending on the determined clock difference their own internal control clocks are each speeded up and/or slowed down, in order to thus align their own internal control clocks with the external synchronisation clock.
