Abstract:
1. A method of identification of the nodes (N 1 , N 2 , N 3 , . . . , N n ) of a computer network in an air conditioning installation of a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of peripherals ( 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 , . . . , 10 n ) connected to respective nodes of a computer network connected to a central control unit ( 12 ), said method comprising the steps of: inputting at the level of each peripheral an electric signature on a common conductor ( detecting at the level of each peripheral the electric signatures of the peripherals situated upstream on the common conductor ( generating at the level of each peripheral a data item representing a relative position of the peripheral on the basis of the electric signal detected at the level of this peripheral, identifying each node of the network on the basis of the relative position data collected by the peripheral connected to this node, and wherein the electric signature is input on the common conductor ( programming addresses of the nodes (N
