METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSIGNING ADDRESSES IN A SYSTEM COMPRISING SEVERAL GENERATOR UNITS ARRANGED IN PARALLEL

摘要

A method for assigning addresses in a system having a first generator unit and at least one further generator unit positioned in parallel to the first generator unit. Each of the generator units has a control-signal input and a control-signal output. The control-signal input of each further generator unit is connected in each instance to the control-signal output of another of the generator units. Each of the further generator units receives an identification signal output at the control-signal output of a generator unit upstream of it, and assigns itself an individual address as a function of the respective identification signal received, the address depending on the length of the identification signal received.
