Abstract
Via a data channel, a central data processor is connected to a plurality of data processors each associated with a station. Communication between the data processors associated with stations and at least the central data processor occurs via said data channel. The data processors each associated with a station are selectively activated for communication via the data channel in response to given control signals, According to the invention, data processors each associated with a station are connected to connections associated with the position of the associated stations in the apparatus.. The connection to which a data processor is connected determines in response to which of the control signals the data processor is activated, Thus, the central processor is simply and automatically provided with information regarding the positions of the stations in the apparatus.
