Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013004383A1] The invention relates to a communication interface module (20) for an automation system for coupling at least two field bus systems, comprising at least one first functional unit for the connection to a higher-ranking control system (10) via a first communication link (1) based on a first field bus protocol and at least one second functional unit for the connection of field devices (30) via a second communication link (2) based on a second field bus protocol. The module (20) comprises at least one serial interface (3, 4) for communicating with devices (40) connected to the communication module and at least one third functional unit (50), to which further field devices can be connected.
