Abstract:
A method of operating a plurality of driving units for powering electronic units comprises interchanging a data frame including a bit sequence, between a master control unit and at least one of a plurality of driving units at slave nodes. A step of applying an ID field comprises indicating the driving unit address using a first bit sub-string comprising N bits, allowing the master control unit to identify whether data should be received or transmitted, or allowing each addressed driving unit to decode which action is required by the master control unit, using an R/T command bit, performing a length decoding step, for including information in the ID field regarding the type of instructions included in the data frame, using an F function bit, and assigning data bits to different electronic units or indicating in the length of the bit string in the data field, using a second bit sub-string.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a plurality of driving units for powering electronic units, the method comprising interchanging a data frame including a bit sequence, between a master control unit and at least one of a plurality of driving units at slave nodes, the sequence being divided in fields of consecutive bit strings, the method comprising:\n applying an ID field for addressing at least one driving unit, for interchanging data between the master control unit and the at least one addressed driving unit, applying a data field comprising information and/or instructions regarding the status of the electronic units wherein applying the ID field further comprises: indicating the driving unit address using a first bit sub-string comprising N bits, where 2\u0302N is equal or higher than the number of driving units in the plurality of driving units, for applying the data field on the addressed driving unit or ignoring the data field if the driving unit is not addressed using a receive/transmit command bit for assigning values, for allowing the master control unit to identify whether data should be received from or transmitted to driving units, or for allowing each addressed driving unit to decode which action is required by the master control unit depending on the value assigned to the receive/transmit command bit, using a further function bit including information in the ID field regarding the type of instructions included in the data frame, depending on the value assigned to the function bit, assigning data bits in a second bit sub-string to different electronic units or performing a length decoding step for indicating in the length of the bit string in the data field using that second bit sub-string.
