A system for and a method of controlling bus-networked devices (N1 to Nx) with a gateway (20) by way of an open fieldbus (fig.3A, not shown) provides a simplification in that expensive wiring is dispensed with and the user, with a low level of operating complication and expenditure, can check the system, configure it and re-start it in the event of error messages. For that purpose in such a system there is provided a single pluggable connecting line (8) within the system for connecting bus subscribers and the gateway and for the transfer of control and/or status data and energy. In an initial reference configuration the gateway does not expect any subscriber and a configuration mode is started in the gateway for adopting at least one bus subscriber and producing a fresh reference configuration with the at least one bus subscriber. Applications include motor switches and the like. |
