Abstract

A method for setting up an array of technical units and such an array are presented. The method is used for the independent setup and operation of an array of technical units, the technical units being connected to one another via a system communication bus, a query for a system resource being transmitted from a querying unit to all other units, all other units checking whether the resource has already been assigned to this unit itself, and all querying units transmitting an appropriate response to the querying units and the system resource being assigned thereto if it is not already assigned to one of the other units.
