An automation device comprising a first functional unit, a second functional unit, a first network connection for connection to a first data network and a bus master unit for connecting a peripheral component. The first functional unit includes a first interface unit that is assigned a first network address, and the second functional unit includes a second interface unit that is assigned a second network address. A partitioning device can be used to logically partition an address space of the peripheral component, and a first address space can be directly assigned, as a partitioned part of the address space, to a superordinate computation unit that can be connected through the first network connection.
