A device, a fluidic system, a BUS system and a method of operating this BUS system are indicated. The BUS system includes a multitude of users which are producers and/or consumers of at least one process value. Information regarding at least one allocation feature is transmitted to the users of the BUS system by the users of a group of users of the BUS system and by the respective users of the groups themselves. The allocation feature is determined by the at least one process value produced and/or consumed by the respective users.
