Abstract
A wireless IO-link communication network has a main master and at least one device which have a bidirectional wireless communication between the main master and the at least one device, as well as a backup master which is connected to the main master and the at least one device and is configured to control the at least one device. In a method for operating the IOLW communication network with such a backup master, the backup master controls the at least one device instead of the main master.
