Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for determining a network topology of a distributed automation system comprising a plurality of automation devices that are connected to the system. The method comprises the following steps: a) a first automation device directs a request into the automation system, b) each automation device that has been reached by the request transmits a response containing information about the position of the automation device, c) the first automation device generates a representation of the network topology of the distributed automation system from all the responses.
