Abstract

The present invention relates a slave module (1) for a modular controller system (100) including a master module (50) and employing an industrial network (90). The slave module (1) comprises a processing unit (10) and a network adapter (20) coupled to the processing unit (10). In order to facilitate the commissioning of the controller system (100) and to allow using a cost-efficient and performant network (90), the slave module (1) includes a separate status input connector (30) and a separate status output connector (40), each coupled to the processing unit (10). In an enumeration state, the slave module (1) sends, upon the processor unit (10) sensing that a trigger voltage is applied at the status input connector (30), a presentation message to a master module (50) via its network adapter (20) and the network (90). Further, it applies in the enumeration state, upon receiving a registration response from the master module (50) at the network adapter (20), a trigger voltage at the status output connector (40) by means of the processing unit (10). The present invention further relates to a controller system (100) and to a method for the iterative registration of slave modules (1) of a modular controller system (100).
