Abstract:
In a method for allocating a respective address (Aa-e) to a plurality of PSUs of a service arrangement for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, a start command is transmitted to all PSUs, a respective coding value (Pa-e) of a coding parameter (P) is determined at an installation position of the respective PSU, a respective waiting time (Wa-e) is determined from the coding value (Pa-e) according to a time rule, a response (Ra-e) is transmitted to a head unit on expiry of the respective waiting time (Wa-e) and an address (Aa-e) is allocated to the responding PSU in response to the reception of the response (Ra-e). A service arrangement for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, with a coding means extending along an extension line in an installation space for a plurality of PSUs and having different coding values (Pa-e) of a coding parameter (P) at different installation positions for PSUs, with the PSUs with a head unit which is connected to the PSUs via a communication channel contains a control unit to carry out the above method. In the case of a passenger cabin of an aircraft with the service arrangement, the PSUs are installed on a support structure in the passenger cabin.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for allocating a respective address (Aa-e) to a plurality of PSUs of a service arrangement for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, wherein the service arrangement contains:\n a coding means extending along an extension line in an installation space for the PSUs, wherein the coding means has coding values (Pa-e), differing on a pair-by-pair basis, of a coding parameter (P) at different installation positions on the extension line at which PSUs are installable, the plurality of PSUs which are installed along the extension line in the installation space at one of the respective installation positions on the extension line, a head unit for the communication with the PSUs, in which:\n a start command is transmitted to all PSUs, \n in response to the start command, the respective coding value (Pa-e) is determined at the installation position of the respective PSU, \n a respective waiting time (Wa-e) is determined from the respective coding value (Pa-e) of a respective PSU according to a time rule, \n a response (Ra-e) is transmitted to the head unit for each of the PSUs on expiry of its waiting time (Wa-e) as from the start command, \n in response to the reception of a respective response (Ra-e) at the head unit, one of the addresses (Aa-e) differing on a pair-by-pair basis is allocated to the PSU which transmitted the received response (Ra-e).
