Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0120416A2] The present invention relates to a passive component (11) for a bus system, such as a field bus system for instance, with a bus interface (21) for the connection to a bus, a serial interface (22) for serially reading out and in data, a data memory (24) with an output area (25) for storing data that is read in via the bus interface (21) and is to be read out via the serial interface (22) and an input area (26) for storing data that is read in via the serial interface and is to be read out via the bus interface. The inventive component also comprises a control device (23) for controlling data transmission and data storing. Detection means (27, 28) for detecting the state of the output area and the input area and for providing corresponding state information are provided. Data are read into the output area and are read out from the input area via the bus interface and on the basis of said state information when the bus system is connected. The present invention also relates to a corresponding active component (10) for exchanging data with such a passive component (11). The invention further relates to a method for reading out and in data into or from a bus system which comprises such a passive component (11) and such an active component (10). The present invention enables data communication between such a bus system and one or several distributed peripheral devices via serial interfaces.
