METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK PARTICIPANT, AND NETWORK PARTICIPANT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a network participant (300), having the steps of receiving an input data stream (410) which contains an input downlink frame (411) in accordance with a fieldbus protocol, wherein the input data stream (410) is received in chronologically successive data units (240) which have a defined processing width (220); decoding fields (110) of the input downlink frame (411) using a plurality of field processing units (310) which are arranged one behind the other, wherein each field processing unit (310) decodes one defined field (110) of the input downlink frame (411); and generating an output data stream (420), which contains an output downlink frame (421) in accordance with the fieldbus protocol, from the input data stream (410).
