Apparatus and method for addressing electronic modules

摘要

A method and apparatus is described for addressing a plurality of interconnected electronic modules. One of the modules is initialized as a master module which sets its own internal address and broadcasts address information to each of the other modules during an addressing process. The other modules receive address information from the master module and set their internal addresses accordingly, such that each module has a unique internal address. The other modules also may broadcast information which may be received by the master module.
