Abstract
A method for configuring fieldbus stations, wherein station names and addresses for the fieldbus stations are executed by reading in a parameter over a first network port of a coupling element, which acts as a topology anchor so as to assign a unique addressing in a subnetwork, i.e., a unique name and a unique IP address, in a PROFINET-IO, such as a fieldbus based on Ethernet.
