System and method for digital motor identification and control

A method comprising:

• responsive to a child device powering on, the child device first determining that the child device has not been assigned a respective address;
• responsive to the child device determining that the child device has not been assigned the respective address, the child device transmitting a unique identification code to a parent device;
• responsive to receiving the unique identification code, the parent device identifying, from a digital library, a group of control commands specific to the child device using the unique identification code, generating the respective address for the child device, and transmitting a copy of the respective address to the child device for storage thereon, said transmission being sent without an accompanying one of the control commands;
• saving the copy of the respective address generated by the parent device at a memory of the child device;
• programming the memory of the child device as read-only after the copy of the respective address has been saved on the memory;
• the parent device transmitting a control signal that includes the respective address and one of the control commands from the group to the child device;
• and
• the first child device receiving the control signal and, responsive thereto, performing an action indicated by the one of the control commands from the group when the respective address matches the copy of the respective address stored on the child device.

A control device comprising:

• a first memory storing a digital library of control commands;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor receives a unique identification code from a child device that has first determined that it has not been assigned an address after powering on, identifies, from the digital library, a group of the control commands specific to the child device using the unique identification code, generates the address for the child device, and transmits a copy of the address to the child device, the copy of the address generated by the parent device being saved by the child device on a second memory, said copy being transmitted to the child device without being accompanied by one of the control commands,
• wherein the processor is configured to program the second memory as read-only after the copy of the address has been saved by the child device on the second memory, and
• wherein, when the processor detects a condition associated with execution of one of the control commands from the group, the processor transmits a signal that includes the one of the control commands from the group and the address to the child device.
