Address assignment apparatus, power distribution cabinet, address assignment method, and storage medium

An address assignment method comprising:

• acquiring an address assignment state indicating whether a bus device has been assigned an address by a gateway;
• and
• setting a switch control signal provided to a connection unit to which the bus device is connected based on the address assignment state, the switch control signal being used for controlling an on-off state of a switch within the connected connection unit to control a delivery of an address signal generated by the gateway to a downstream connection unit along an address assignment line,
• wherein the downstream connection unit is disposed in series with the connected connection unit along the address assignment line, and is located downstream of the connected connection unit relative to the gateway.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which is executable by a processor to perform at least:

• acquiring an address assignment state indicating whether a bus device has been assigned an address by a gateway;
• and
• setting a switch control signal provided to a connection unit to which the bus device is connected based on the address assignment state, the switch control signal being used for controlling an on-off state of a switch within the connected connection unit to control a delivery of an address signal generated by the gateway to a downstream connection unit along an address assignment line,
• wherein the downstream connection unit is disposed in series with the connected connection unit along the address assignment line, and is located downstream of the connected connection unit relative to the gateway.
