<p>The invention relates particularly to a method for operating an automation system (10), wherein the automation system (10) comprises, in communicatively connected form, a superordinate IO link unit (14) and at least one modular IO link appliance (20) having an appliance-internal bus (32) and subunits (24, 26, 28) which can be addressed by means of the latter and which the modular IO link appliance (20) comprises, wherein the method is distinguished in that communication with the modular IO link appliance (20) involves the selection of one of the subunits (24, 26, 28) thereof, and the communication takes place only with this subunit directly and, via the latter with the other subunits (24, 26, 28) of the modular IO link appliance (20) indirectly.</p> |
