Abstract
The invention relates to an automated system in which a targeted search may be made for connecting terminals without having to actuate a load connected thereto. For this purpose, the automated system has a communication network, a programmable control unit, and at least one modular bus subscriber which are connected to the communication network. The modular bus subscriber has multiple groups of connecting elements, a display element being associated with each group of connecting elements. An evaluation and control unit is also provided which actuates at least one selected display element in response to signaling information originating from the programmable control unit. The programmable control unit is designed to provide this type of signaling information.
