Abstract
A dynamically addressable master-slave system and a method for dynamically addressing slave units includes a master unit and a plurality of slave units, such that the slave units are interconnected with the master unit via a bus system. The respective network addresses of the slave units are assigned to the respective serial numbers of these slave units in a table in the master unit according to the position thereof in the system according to a determined order. Upon replacement of slave units, a list of serial numbers of the units to be replaced is transferred to the master unit in the sequence of the acquisition of the serial numbers, which master unit replaces these serial numbers in the table with the serial numbers of the replaced slave units transmitted to the master unit.
