    摘要: A method for automatically assigning addresses in a bus system with a bus, a plurality of participating units connected to the bus and a control device for issuing control signals to the units also coupled to the bus, where each unit comprises an actuator and an actuator driving device for displacing the actuator along a displacement path defined by two end positions, is characterized by the following steps: storing, in the control device, operating data sets that, upon adjustment of the actuators from one end position to another end position, describe expected operation parameters of the actuator driving devices of the units, these set parameters being different for each actuator driving device, and storing address data that are also different and are assigned to the different set parameters; the control device causes the actuator driving devices of the units to move the respective assigned actuators to the one end position; the control device then causes the actuator driving devices of the units to move the respective assigned actuators to the other end position; determining the actual operating parameters of the actuator driving devices during the movement of the actuators of the units from one end position to the other end position; the control device issues the set parameters and the respective assigned address data to all units; each unit compares the actual operating parameters to the set operating parameters provided by the control device and assumes those address data as its address in the bus system, which belong to those set operating parameters to which the actual operating parameters of its actuator driving device correspond.

    摘要: A flap to be identified is caused to move over the whole of its angular range of travel. The number of motor steps is counted during this movement, and the number of steps counted is compared with at least one pre-recorded information item corresponding to a particular flap or type of flap. The method is applicable to the checking of the correct fitting of actuator housings in an air-conditioning installation, or to the allocation of addresses to actuators connected to an information bus.

    摘要: An automatic procedure for locating actuator addresses on a bus system is revealed. The actuators may be identical except for their physical position, and thus their function and address on a bus system that controls and powers the actuators. Because their functions are different, the control system can determine which actuator is in which location, and thus locate the address for each actuator on the bus. Each actuator may then receive and act upon commands from the control system appropriate to its location and function. As a result, a manufacturer or dealer can stock a single actuator, rather than many actuators. Several such actuators would otherwise have to be manufactured and stocked separately, even though the only difference between them might be an installed software or firmware program to identify and control each actuator. Additionally, fewer wires may be required in harnesses to control the actuators.

    摘要: A system of controllers act as nodes on a network. One controller is identified as a supervisory node and the remaining controllers are identified as client nodes with the supervisory node and each client node broadcasting a default identifier, created at the time of manufacture, in a default domain. The default identifiers from the client nodes are received and ranked at the supervisory node according to a characteristic in the identifier. A network address is created at the supervisory node for each client node and broadcast in the default domain to all client nodes. The client nodes receive all network addresses but only recognize and internalize the network address corresponding to a specific client node. Control information is then communicated between nodes utilizing subnet and node addressing.
