  • Publication number: 20070260764
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning addresses to one or more components, such as luminaires, in a network. In one example the luminaires include one or more lamp sub-modules. An example method sends an address command from a master control unit to all luminaires over a communication broadcast databus, and switches the one or more luminaires to an addressing mode of operation based on the sent address command. A token signal is sent on a second serial databus to the one or more luminaires and address information is sent on the communication databus. The address information is recorded at the one or more luminaires based on the received token signal. Addresses are automatically assigned to the associated lamp sub-modules based on physical location and the recorded address information and assigned lamp sub-module addresses are sent to the master control unit. The sent address information and lamp sub-module addresses are saved.
