Abstract
A network module is specified for controlling an automation process via a data network with superordinate and subordinate data paths. The network module is configured to successively receive, during a communication cycle, via the superordinate data path, a first portion of a sum total of first output data transmitted to signal units connected to a first subordinate data path, a first portion of a sum total of second output data transmitted to signal units connected to a second subordinate data path, a second portion of the first output data and a second portion of the second output data. The network module is configured to send the first and second portions of the first output data immediately subsequently to one another via the first subordinate data path and the first and second portions of the second output data immediately subsequently to one another via the second subordinate data path.
