Abstract:
A bus arrangement includes a coordinator that has a non-volatile memory; a first node that has a first serial number; a second node that has a second serial number; and a bus. The bus includes a first signal line, which couples the first node and the coordinator; a second signal line, which connects the second node to the first node; and at least one bus line, which connects the coordinator to the first and the second nodes. The coordinator is configured such that, in a configuration phase, it establishes a connection to the first node, queries the first serial number, and stores the first serial number in the non-volatile memory, and establishes a connection to the second node, queries the second serial number, and stores the second serial number in the non-volatile memory.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for operating a bus arrangement, the method comprising:\n in a configuration phase performing the following operations:\n establishing a connection from a coordinator to a first node via a bus, the first node having a first serial number; \n transmitting the first serial number from the first node to the coordinator via at least one bus line of the bus; \n storing the first serial number in a non-volatile memory of the coordinator; \n establishing a connection from the coordinator to a second node via the bus, the second node having a second serial number; \n transmitting the second serial number from the second node to the coordinator via the at least one bus line; and \n storing the second serial number in the non-volatile memory of the coordinator, \n wherein the bus comprises:\n a first signal line, which couples the first node and the coordinator; and \n a second signal line, which connects the second node to the first node, and \n wherein the at least one bus line connects the coordinator to the first and the second nodes.
