Abstract
A method initializes a security bus in a security bus system. The method includes scanning the security bus in order to identify slave units connected to the security bus, and determining, for each identified slave unit, whether the slave unit is a standard slave unit or a slave unit that itself provides input data for the security controller. The method further includes assigning, for each identified slave unit, an address to the slave unit. If the slave unit is a standard slave unit, then the slave unit is automatically assigned a communication address. If the slave unit is a slave unit that itself provides input data for the security controller, then the slave unit is automatically assigned a communication address and additionally a security address. The method also includes storing the addresses assigned to the identified slave units in order to initialize the security bus.
