A display device () for an identifier () of a seat () of a vehicle () with a variable mounting location () contains a display () along an extension direction (), which can be attached to a carrier () of the vehicle () at the seat () in the extension direction () along possible mounting locations (), and a control device () for displaying identifiers () on the display () in different longitudinal positions (Pa,b), which are assigned to mounting locations (). A vehicle () having such a seat () and a carrier () contains the display device (), wherein the display () is attached to the carrier () in the surroundings () of the seat () and extends in the extension direction () along possible mounting locations () of the seat ().

A monitoring module () for a seat () of a passenger aircraft (), which seat () contains at least one element (-) having at least two states (Z), comprises at least one sensor (-) for the element (-), having state information () corresponding to the current state (Z), a readout unit () having a communication channel () for the state information () to the sensor (-) and a communication interface () for the state information () to a monitoring unit () of the passenger aircraft (). The sensor (-) is a camera or a capacitive seat occupancy sensor. A monitoring device () for a passenger aircraft () contains monitoring modules () and a monitoring unit (), which is configured for at least two of the monitoring modules () together. A passenger aircraft () contains a monitoring module () and/or a monitoring device ().

A method for allocating addresses to passenger service units (PSUs) and a service controller for a passenger cabin of an aircraft are provided. A coding device of the controller defines multiple coding parameters each corresponding to an installation position of a PSU. Each coding parameter defines a coding value. The PSUs are installed at respective installation positions in an installation space. A head unit of the controller communicates with the PSUs. In response to a start command, a respective coding value is determined at a respective installation position of a respective PSU. A respective waiting time is determined from the respective coding value according to a time rule. A response is transmitted to the head unit for each PSU upon expiration of the waiting time from the start command. Upon receiving the response, an address is allocated to a PSU which transmitted the response.
