Abstract:
1. Method for storing a desired address in a device of a control system in which at least one device of a first type and one or more devices of a second type are connected to one another via a communication medium for the purpose of interchanging data, a) the at least one device of the first type determining a desired verification code, which is valid for a particular device of the second type, at least using a desired address and a desired index value of the particular device of the second type which are stored in a device association memory of the at least one device of the first type, b) the at least one device of the first type transmitting the desired verification code to the particular device of the second type, c) the particular device of the second type determining an actual verification code at least using an actual address stored in an intrinsic address memory of the particular device of the second type and an actual index value which is set in the particular device of the second type by means of an index value generating means present in said device of said control system, d) the particular device of the second type comparing the actual verification code with the desired verification code, e) the particular device of the second type storing the desired address associated with the desired verification code as a new actual address in its intrinsic address memory if the actual verification code and the desired verification code differ.
