Abstract
A bus arrangement includes a first subscriber, which includes a base module and a first number N of modules; a second subscriber; a coordinator, which includes a first bus terminal and a second bus terminal; and a bus that couples the first bus terminal with the first subscriber and the second subscriber. The coordinator is configured such that, in a configuration phase (K), it sends the first subscriber a first bus telegram for requesting information, the first subscriber being configured to transmit the first number N to the coordinator. The coordinator is configured to receive a fieldbus telegram via the second bus terminal and to convert the field bus telegram into a second bus telegram that is directed to the base module or to a module from the first number N of modules and to transmit the second bus telegram via the first bus terminal.
