Abstract
A method for operating a slave node of a digital bus system is described. The slave node comprises two sending and receiving devices. In the bus system, an input data frame is sent to a master node in input direction. The slave node receives the input data frame by the first sending and receiving device. The slave node stores service data packets contained in the input data frame in a FIFO memory. The slave node attaches at least one process data packet of its own to a last process data packet in the input data frame. The slave node attaches the service data packets to the process data packet, which is now last, in the input data frame. The slave node sends the input data frame, which was changed in this manner, to the next node in input direction by the second sending and receiving device.
