An electronic device for determining a location of a seal strip device in a strip of a papermaking machine, the electronic device comprising:
- a seal strip location identification component associated with the seal strip device;
- a current monitoring circuit configured to measure a current through the seal strip location identification component that is associated with the seal strip device;
- and
- a location circuit configured to transmit information related to the current through the seal strip location identification component, and configured to receive an address related to the location of the seal strip device.
A method for determining a location of a seal strip device in a strip of a papermaking machine, the method comprising:
- determining a current through a seal strip location identification component associated with the seal strip device;
- reporting the current through the seal strip location identification component to a system coordinator device;
- receiving, from the system coordinator device, an address related to the location of the seal strip device;
- and
- determining the location of the seal strip device based on the address that was received from the system coordinator device.
A seal strip location determination circuit for determining a location of a seal strip device in a strip of a papermaking machine, the seal strip location determination circuit comprising:
- a seal strip identification circuit associated with the seal strip device;
- a current monitoring circuit configured to determine a current through the seal strip identification circuit that is associated with the seal strip device;
- and
- a location circuit configured to transmit information related to the current through the seal strip identification circuit, and configured to receive an address related to the location of the seal strip device.
