Abstract:
A method for initializing a bus system, and a bus system having a master module and serially disposed bus subscribers, includes the temporally successive method steps: in a first method step, the master module asks the bus subscribers to log in to the master module, in a second method step, a first bus subscriber disposed downstream from the master module logs in to the master module, in a third method step, the first bus subscriber waits for a predefined period of time to see whether a second bus subscriber disposed downstream from the first bus subscriber logs in to the master module, and in a fourth method step, the first bus subscriber closes the bus system if no second bus subscriber logs in to the master module within the predefined period of time, or in a fourth method step, in particular an alternative method step, a second bus subscriber logs in to the master module within the predefined period of time and waits for a further predefined period of time to see whether a third bus subscriber downstream from the second bus subscriber logs in to the master module, and the second bus subscriber closes the bus system if no third bus subscriber logs in to the master module within the further predefined period of time.

Claim (Index 29):
The bus system according to  claim 28 , wherein each data cable includes two mating plug connector parts, each bus subscriber having a first plug connector part adapted to connect to a respective upstream bus subscriber and a second plug connector part adapted to connect to a downstream bus subscriber.
