Abstract
A method for autoconfiguration of a plurality of nodes in a linear network allows extracting the address and position of each node. The method includes applying an identifier field for transmitting to the bus the bit sequence of the identifier of a chosen node. Then for at least for the first node to the last but one node, a field comprising a predetermined bit sequence is applied. The field comprises dominant bits, so a current is transmitted. Then, a further field is applied for transmitting any stored direction bit associated to that node and obtained in any previous iteration. The iteration continues by choosing a node different from a node chosen in any previous cycle, starting the communication, until all nodes are identified.
