1. A controller configured to transmit data messages to a receiver via a communication link having at least a first and a second transmission path, the controller comprising:
a first signal terminal for the first transmission path, the first signal terminal being configured to transmit a first message to the receiver according to a first transmission protocol by modulating a voltage on the first signal terminal; and
a second signal terminal for the second transmission path, the second signal terminal being configured to transmit, independently of the first message, a second message to the receiver according to a second, different transmission protocol by modulating a current on the second signal terminal,
wherein a content transmitted by the first and the second messages is identical.
