Device and Method for Addressing, and Converter

摘要

It is provided to implement a different number of logical slaves in a field device for use in an AS interface network as a function of the assigned address, which slaves may be addressed using the assigned address in the standard or in the expanded addressing mode. Thus, in a field device, it is possible to provide slaves having different profiles, via which different data types may be exchanged. Furthermore, a method is provided, with which a field device having different slaves is able to be addressed in a simple manner while avoiding double addressing.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
at least two bus participants connected by a connection; and an assignment device adapted to assign a data to the bus participants, wherein the device includes a reversing logic adapted to shift the device from a first mode to a second mode, wherein the device includes a processing device that simulates one bus participant as a logical slave in the first mode, and wherein in the second mode the at least two bus participants are simulated without reconfiguration as at least two logical slaves within the processing device.
