Abstract
A method for assigning addresses to nodes of a bus system, and installation, bus nodes being furnished with an identical delivery address, where (i) an assigning entity, particularly a central computer, start-up computer or bus node sends information to the delivery address via the bus system, (ii) the information includes a first address, (iii) an action is performed whose effect is detected by a first bus node, (iv) the first bus node accepts the first address, (v) the first bus node sends a response to the assigning entity, (vi) steps (i) through (v) are repeated, each time with a further address for a further bus node.

A bus system, comprising:
- an assigning entity;
- a plurality of bus nodes;
- a bus interconnecting the assigning entity and the plurality of bus nodes, the plurality of bus nodes furnished with delivery addresses, wherein
- (i) the assigning entity is configured to send information to the delivery addresses via the bus, the information including a first address;
- (ii) a first bus node of the plurality of bus nodes is configured to detect an effect of a performing of an at least one action;
- (iii) the first bus node is configured to accept the first address;
- (iv) the first bus node is configured to send a response to the assigning entity, wherein the response occurs after the performance of the action, and the performance of the action occurs after the sending the information;
- and
- (i) to (iv) are repeated each time with a further address for a further bus node.
