Abstract

A communications subscriber (P) which is suitable as an interface between a network (N) and a field bus (BU) and has software objects (A′, B′) for representing appliances (A, B) which can be connected via the field bus, which software objects can be addressed, like the appliances (A, B) themselves, via the network (N), so that appliances having only field bus access can also be transparently incorporated into “high performance” networks.
