The invention relates to a connection module for the connection of a sensor, in particular of an optoelectronic sensor, to a fieldbus, comprising a sensor interface for the connection of the connection module to an interface of a sensor, a serial bus interface for the connection of the connection module to an interface of a fieldbus and a gateway circuit which is connected to the bus interface and to the sensor interface in order to convert data received at the bus interface into a data format of a connected sensor and vice versa. The sensor interface of the connection module is made as a parallel interface. At least one I/O circuit is integrated into the connection module and is connected to the bus interface and to the sensor interface. The invention further relates to a method for the connection of a sensor to a fieldbus via a connection module.
