Abstract
A serial communication bus system with a dynamic address table and its control method allows the master device to detect the removal of slave devices from the serial communication bus using allocated addresses and a common initial address through interactive polling. Additionally, when new slave devices connect to the bus, they can be directly detected, and non-conflicting new addresses can be assigned, eliminating the need to reassign addresses for all connected slave devices, as required in the conventional approach.
