Abstract

See full text

For a multimedia ring network (A) interconnecting a plurality of units (B), for example built into a vehicle, to be adapted automatically to expansions or reductions with respect to the unite (B), there is a unit serving as the man/machine interface (C), which is built up from an application plane (A.sup.4), an interface (E), an access plane (F), a data plane (G), a transmitting and receiving unit (H), a function catalog (I) and a program generator (J). Commands input by a user into the application plane (D) are converted to data telegrams in the data plane (E) and fed into the network (A) by the transmitting and receiving unit (H). The addressed units (B) transmit reply telegrams back to the man/machine interface (C), where they are visually displayed in the application plane (D) for the user. The program generator generates the programs belonging to the functions of the network described in the function catalog (I) and transmits them to the interface (E), to the access plane (F) or to the data plane (G).
