Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a bus system for the interchange of device-specific data between fieldbus slaves of a first fieldbus and a fieldbus master of a second fieldbus, wherein the first fieldbus is connected for communication to a common Ethernet network via a first gateway and the second fieldbus is connected for communication to a common Ethernet network via a second gateway, wherein the communication via the Ethernet network occurs according to the client-server communication principle, wherein the first gateway reacts on the network side as a fieldbus master and on the Ethernet side as a web service server, and wherein the second gateway reacts on the fieldbus side as a fieldbus slave and on the Ethernet side as a web service client.
