Abstract
A method for identifying bus nodes in a bus system makes it possible to be able to operate bus slaves of two different types in mixed systems. The detection of which bus slave has not yet been allocated an address in an addressing phase is carried out differently depending on a type of the bus slave. In all cases, however, the bus slave connected to the bus line farthest away from the bus master is identified as that bus slave to which an address is to be allocated.
