Abstract
A communication network () is a bus type communication network that communicably connects each battery module (). In the battery module (), a communication identifier that is used in communication through the communication network () is set. A transmission unit () transmits identifier information to all of the other battery modules () through the communication network (). The identifier information indicates a candidate identifier that is a candidate of the communication identifier. A communication arbitration unit () performs communication arbitration for the identifier information transmitted by the transmission unit (). In a case of winning in the communication arbitration, a decision unit () decides the candidate identifier indicated in the transmitted identifier information as the communication identifier used by the battery module (). On the other hand, in a case of losing in the communication arbitration, the transmission unit () transmits the identifier information again.
