Abstract:
The present application relates to a system and a method for determining relative positions slave units along a stub bus with at least a power line and a ground line. Each slave unit is operable in different power modes, which are differentiated by effective resistances between the power and ground lines. A reference voltage potential drop is determined for each slave unit while the slave units are operating in a first power mode. A positioning voltage potential drop is determined for one or more slave units while a selected slave unit is operating in a second power mode. Relative positions of the slave units are determined based on the relative voltage potential drops obtained from the reference and positioning voltage potential drops.

Claim (Index 14):
The system according to  claim 11 , wherein the master unit comprises a voltage potential drop measurement unit arranged to measure a voltage potential drop across the power line and ground line,\n wherein the master unit is arranged to measure the reference voltage potential drop while each the slave unit operating in a low-power mode except a selected slave unit operating in a first high-power mode; wherein the master unit is arranged to measure the positioning voltage potential drop while each slave unit is operating in a low-power mode except the selected slave unit operating in a second high-power mode; wherein the master unit is arranged to determine a relative voltage potential drop for the selected slave unit; and wherein the master unit is arranged to detect the relative positions of the plurality of slave units based on the relative voltage potential drops determined for each slave unit.
