Abstract:
A coupler for an automation system for controlling a process, having a first interface for connection to a field bus for receiving a field bus message with process data of the process, a second interface for connection to a local bus for transmitting a local bus message, and a circuit implemented between the first interface and the second interface. The circuit has a non-clocked logic circuit comprising a number of hardware logic elements. The non-clocked logic circuit is equipped to change process data received through the first interface. The circuit is equipped to output the changed process data in the local bus message.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for operating a coupler for an automation system, the method comprising:\n receiving a field bus message with process data through a first interface of the coupler, the first interface being adapted for connection to a field bus; transmitting a local bus message through a second interface of the coupler, the second interface being adapted for connection to a local bus; changing the process data received through the first interface via a non-clocked logic circuit comprising at least one hardware logic element, the non-clocked logic circuit being arranged in a circuit between the first interface and the second interface; and outputting the changed process data in the local bus message via the circuit.
