A device for the detection of wetness in wheel arches of road vehicles includes at least one sensor arrangement including at least one capacitive moisture sensor with two electrodes, electrically insulated with respect to one another, and with at least one evaluation unit, the electrodes, electrically insulated with respect to one another, are arranged on a carrier element, that the electrodes, electrically insulated with respect to one another, are formed by two detection sections arranged parallel to one another, and that the detection sections, when used as intended, are aligned respectively in a rising manner in their longitudinal extent. The device also relates to a road vehicle for the detection of wetness, with at least one wheel arch, with which provision is made according to the invention that the wheel arch is delimited by a wheel-housing shell, at which a device according to the invention is arranged.

Device for the detection of wetness in wheel arches

The invention relates to a method for addressing at least one bus subscriber, in particular a control device or sensor, which is connected to a bus system for the purpose of exchanging data, and which is supplied with DC voltage in order to supply the bus subscriber with supply voltage rectified as defined via a DC voltage input of said bus subscriber. It is proved according to the invention that the respective bus subscriber detects the polarity of the DC voltage at its DC voltage input, selects a predefined address depending on the detected polarity, and assigns the selected address to itself for the purpose of exchanging the data. The invention further relates to the bus subscriber and a system consisting of a bus system and exactly two bus subscribers of such kind. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle.
