1. A device to enable a service-oriented communication with a signal-based communication, the device comprising:
a plurality of service-oriented communication interfaces for communicative connection to a number of external service-oriented communication partners;
a plurality of signal-based communication interfaces for communication with a number of external signal-based devices; and
an embedded system configured to communicatively connect respective signal-based communication interfaces to respective service-oriented communication interfaces according to a predefined routing logic, and to transform signal-based communication signals, provided by the respective signal-based communication interfaces, into service-oriented communication signals according to a service-oriented communication protocol, and to transform service-oriented communication signals, provided by the respective service-oriented communication interfaces into signal-based communication signals according to a signal-based communication protocol,
wherein the embedded system is configured to communicatively connect each of the signal-based communication interfaces to a separate, respective one of the plurality of service-oriented communication interfaces according to the predefined routing logic,
wherein the service-oriented communication protocol comprises instructions on how and where to insert communication data to complete said transforming signal-based communication signals into service-oriented communication signals.
