Abstract
An automatic determination of an address suitable for a functional unit connected to other similar functional units via a bidirectional communication network. A field of possible addresses are scanned and a status request is transmitted for each address. In response to the request, if an answer is received, this means the address is already allocated, the address is incremented and the process is restarted. If no answer is received, then a second test is performed on the same address. If there is still no answer, meaning the address is available and not taken by another functional unit, the address is adopted.
