Abstract:
A bus node is capable of performing a method, for the assigning of bus node addresses to bus nodes of a serial data bus. The method is performed with the aid of bus shunt resistors in the individual bus nodes of the data bus system in an assignment time period. After the assigning of bus node addresses to the bus nodes in the assignment time period, there follows an operating time period. For this purpose, the bus node comprises such a bus shunt resistor. The bus node is characterized by a bus shunt bypass switch which, prior to assigning a bus node address to the bus node in the assignment time period is opened and which after the assignment of bus node address to the bus node in the assignment time period is closed, and which is closed in the operating time period.

Claim (Index 15):
An addressable bus node for a serial data bus system, the bus system comprising:\n a bus line; a bus master connected to the bus line; and a plurality of bus nodes serially connected to the bus line; wherein the plurality of bus nodes includes: at least two addressable bus nodes operable to receive addresses assigned by the bus master in an addressing phase; and zero or more standard bus nodes having respectively an already fixed address: the addressable bus node comprising:\n a current measurement circuit adapted to be switched into the bus line; \n a bypass switch connected in parallel to the current measurement circuit; \n an addressing current source for feeding into the bus line an address current flowing into the bus master; and \n a control unit for controlling the bypass switch;\n wherein, in an addressing phase of the data bus system for assignment of an address, the control unit is operative to control the bypass switch to assume an open state, and, in an operative phase of the data bus system occurring after termination of the addressing phase, the control unit is operative to control the bypass switch to assume a closed state.
