  • Method and apparatus for dynamic address assignment
    Patent number: 9749177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an address assignment procedure where an address request containing a unique identification is sent to a predefined address of a network, and the role of an address assignment master is taken over in response to the receipt of a non-acknowledging response to the address request. Standard intelligent building blocks can thus be used to create a large product portfolio. The intelligent building blocks are connected to each other via a network and addresses can be assigned without needing additional process steps, human interaction or factory/field-service tooling.
