Abstract

A method is disclosed in which data is exchanged via a bus coupler (500) between a network (410) designed for transmitting Ethernet telegrams and a lower-level bus system (420), wherein the bus coupler (500) is connected via a first interface (520) to the network (410) and via a second interface (530) to the lower-level bus system (420), and wherein process data is read in and/or output through at least one bus node (610, 620, 630) of the lower-level bus system (420).Furthermore, a bus coupler (500), a bus node (610, 620, 630), and a control system (10) that are designed for execution of the method are disclosed.
