In a method for operating an automation system (60), the automation system (60) comprises a communication network (31), wherein the communication network (31) has a plurality of nodes, a first node (33) being connected to a second node (34) by data links and the first node (33) causing the activation and/or deactivation of the second node (34). The automation system can be designed such that the first node (33) is an energy source (ps) for the second node (34), wherein the second node (34) can be connected to a further energy source by means of a switch (62), said switch (62) being actuated by means of the energy source of the first node (33). A cable is provided between the first node (33) and the second node (34), by means of which cable both electric energy and data can be transmitted from the first node (33) to the second node (34). |
