DETERMINATION OF DATA BUS SUBSCRIBERS OF A LOCAL BUS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining communication-ready data bus subscribers (7a and 7b, ..., 7n) connected to a local bus (6). The method comprises receiving, at a local bus master (3), at least one data packet (22a, 22b and 22c), transferred over the local bus (6), wherein the at least one data packet (22a, 22b and 22c) received at the local bus master (3) has an address of a communication-ready data bus subscriber (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) from a number of communication-ready data bus subscribers (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) in the local bus (6), wherein the communication-ready data bus subscriber (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) is within a sequence of the communication-ready data bus subscribers (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) , and associating the received address to a relative position of the communication-ready data bus subscriber (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) within the sequence of communication-ready data bus subscribers (7a, 7b, ..., 7n) in the local bus (6) by the local bus master (3). The invention further relates to a local bus master of the local bus (6).
