Actuator-sensor interface with extended operation capabilities has an idle state and a special function state into which it can be switched in an event dependent manner

摘要

Actuator-sensor interface for automation use is connected between at least a master (2) and at least a slave (7, 8, 11) using a bus (4). At least a master and at least a slave have an actuator sensor interface (3, 5, 10) that are coupled to each other via the bus. At least one actuator-sensor interface has an idle state and can be switched into a special function state in an event dependent manner.
