==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure relates to an I/O station for signalling between a network and a plurality of field devices in an automation system. The I/O station comprises an I/O network interface, and a plurality of I/O modules, each providing one or more I/O channels connecting respective one or more field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, whereby each of the field devices is communicatively connected to the network via the I/O module and the network interface. At least one of the I/O modules is an APL I/O module connecting APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, and at least one of the I/O modules is a non-APL I/O module connecting non-APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices. The I/O station is configured for tunnelling data between at least one of the I/O modules and the network.
