For example, MVB semantically is more similar to can/canopen or even
SNMP than to iec61158. T-bus is logically more a typically network
interface (similar to 802.3 or HDLC), WTB is actually HDCL via RS485.
KNX has similarities to canopen or SNMP. DALI is somewhat similar
to I2C.
Ergo: there're various fieldbus protocols with entirely different
concepts. Distributed process memory like in iec61158 is just one
of them.

That's just layer 0/1. Ontop of that there're various protocols.
Some folks do some ASCII-based protocol ontop of that (eg. elevators,
water plants, etc), others put in HDLC (eg. WTB), some do completely
weird things ;-)

okay, if the device always represents the current process memory, w/o
showing the actual communication, then Sven's approach makes sense.
