The invention relates to a method for operating a network of interface nodes (3), in particular IEEE 1394 interface nodes, and to an interface device for carrying out the method. In the network, interface nodes (3) are connected via a data bus (1). At least one of the interface nodes (3) in each case receives self-ID information from others of the interface nodes (3), with the self-ID information comprising self-ID data. The at least one of the interface nodes (3) forms joint information with joint header data and joint ID data for the self-ID information which has been received from the others of the interface nodes (3), and writes the joint information to a memory device in the at least one of the interface nodes (3).
A method for operating a network of interface nodes (3), in particular IEEE 1394 interface nodes, in which interface nodes (3) are connected via a data bus (1), with at least one of the interface nodes (3) in each case receiving self-ID information from others of the interface nodes (3) after a reset operation on the data bus (1), and with each self-ID information item comprising self-ID data, wherein joint information with joint header data and joint ID data is formed in the at least one of the interface nodes (3) for the self-ID information which has been received by the other interface nodes (3), and is stored in a memory device (23) in the at least one interface node (3).
An interface device (3), in particular an IEEE 1394 interface, which is coupled to a data bus (1), having:
