INTERFACE MODULE, SYSTEM HAVING AN INTERFACE MODULE AND METHOD FOR COUPLING DATA BUSES

摘要

An interface module for coupling data buses to first signal line ports, to which signal lines of at least one first data bus are connectable, and second signal line ports, to which signal lines of at least one second data bus are connectable, has at least one connecting device for making at least one connection between one of the first signal line ports and one of the second signal line ports. In this case, the first signal line port connected to the second signal line port is alternately connectable to at least one other second signal line port and/or the second signal line port connected to the first signal line port is alternately connectable to at least one other first signal line port. A related system has at least one such interface module and at least one apparatus that has the at least one first data bus and/or at the least one second data bus.
