Zusammenfassung:A fieldbus system (10) is provided, having a plurality of fieldbus devices (20) and a controller (22). The controller (22) is in communication with the plurality of fieldbus devices (20) though a fieldbus (26). The controller (22) transmits a plurality of high priority Receive Process Data Objects (RPDOs) and a plurality of low priority RPDOs to the plurality of fieldbus devices (20) through the fieldbus (26). The controller (22) includes a control logic for sending each of the plurality of fieldbus devices (20) one of the plurality of high priority RPDOs during a frame. The frame is the fastest rate at which the high priority RPDOs (42) are transmitted. The controller (22) includes a control logic for sending at least one of the plurality of fieldbus devices (20) at least one of the plurality of low priority RPDOs. The low priority RPDOs are grouped by a minimum wait time.
