Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus, a device and a method. The apparatus is configured for providing an address to a device attachable with the apparatus. The apparatus comprises at least one connector capable of receiving the device, an address composer for producing an address signal, and an address line in the connector for providing the address signal to the device, the address signal being indicative of an address to be used by the device when attached with the apparatus. The address composer is configured to generate the address signal as an analogue address signal. The device comprises at least one connector capable of receiving the device, an address composer for producing an address signal, an address line in the connector for providing the address signal to the device, the address signal being indicative of an address to be used by the device when attached with the apparatus, an input for receiving the address signal as an analogue address signal, a comparator for comparing the level of the analogue address signal with a set of reference values; and a determinator to determine the address to be used by the device on the basis of the comparison result.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for providing an address to a device attachable with the apparatus, the apparatus comprising:\n at least a first interface connector and a second interface connector; a first address composer for said first interface connector configured to produce an address signal as an analogue address voltage or an analogue address current from an analogue input voltage or current; a second address composer for said second interface connector configured to produce an address signal as an analogue address voltage or an analogue address current from an analogue input voltage or current; an address line in each of the at least two connectors configured to provide the address signal to the device, the address signal being indicative of an address to be used by the device when attached with the apparatus; an address signal input in each of said first interface connector and said second interface connector for receiving an analogue input voltage or current for the address composer; and an address signal output in each of said first interface connector and said second interface connector for outputting the address signal generated by the address composer from the analogue input signal, wherein the address signal output of said first interface connector is coupled with the address signal input of said second interface connector for receiving the address signal generated by the first address composer.
