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 9):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the master unit is arranged to maintain a list of the plurality of slave units connected to the stub bus, wherein the list indicates whether or not a slave unit out of the plurality of slave units has been already selected once, the method comprising:\n the master unit, selecting a slave unit, which has not been already selected once, out of the plurality of slave units; repeating the determining of the relative voltage potential drop for the selected slave unit; and collecting the relative voltage potential drops of the selected slave unit, wherein the relative positions of the plurality of slave units is detected by the master unit once the relative voltage potential drops have been determined for each slave unit.
