Abstract
A method for commissioning a sensor series circuit configured in a daisy chain topology. A second sensor being downstream from a first sensor. The method includes furnishing a first switch signal to the first sensor to close the first switch, the first switch signal being furnished in response to a successful initialization of the first sensor, monitoring a function of the second sensor during initialization of the second sensor to ascertain whether the second sensor exhibits a fault upon initialization or is initialized correctly, and to furnish a fault signal if it is ascertained that the second sensor exhibits a fault upon initialization; and outputting a suppression signal to the first sensor if the fault signal has been furnished, to prevent the first switch from being closed.
