  • Sensor element for vehicle bus system
    Publication number: 20050154474
    Abstract: A sensor element for a bus system in a motor vehicle has a first number of pins by which it can be connected to the bus lines of the bus system, having differing potentials. The first number of pins is larger than the number of bus lines. A first device measures and evaluates the potential on at least one of the pins, while a second device assigns to the sensor element a specific address coding from the measured and evaluated potentials. The invention also relates to a bus system and to a method of operating the bus system.
