  • Address assignment method for at least one bus device that has recently been connected to a bus system
    Patent number: 6850992
    Abstract: A bus device that has recently been connected to a bus system is first addressable at a pre-set address. A bus master transmits a new address and an identification to the bus device. The bus device compares the transmitted identification with an identification that has been stored in the bus device and assumes the transmitted new address, if the transmitted identification corresponds with the identification that has been stored in the bus device. The bus device is then addressable at the new address.
