Abstract
This invention relates to a dynamically addressable master-slave system and a method for dynamic addressing of slave units, wherein a master unit and a plurality of slave units are provided and the slave units are connected to the master unit via a bus system and can receive at least one broadcast command from the master unit via the bus line of the bus system, wherein the master-slave system is configured such that the master unit can send respective broadcast commands to the slave units, on the one hand, for activation, and on the other hand, for performing the dynamic addressing process of slave addresses, and wherein the slave units each comprise an address input and an address output and are serially connected via an address line that is separate from the bus line.
