Node for a bus network, a bus network and a method for configuration of the network
First Claim
1. Node for a bus network, which has a bus controller having a receiving and transmitting circuit arrangement and having a bus connection for transmitting and receiving messages via the bus, and has a node identification set device for setting a node identification, on the basis of which the node can respond via the bus and/or the node can be identified in the network and/or on the basis of which messages sent from the node and/or message contents can be identified and/or on the basis of which messages which are relevant for the node and/or message contents can be identified, wherein the node has at least one set input connection which is associated with the node identification set device and is separate from the bus connection, and in that the node identification set device can be activated by application of a set signal (S2) to the set input connection to receive a nominal node identification via the set input connection and/or the bus connection, and to set this nominal node identification as the node identification.

Abstract
Inter alia, the invention provides a node (16) for a bus network, which has a bus controller (30) having a receiving and transmitting circuit arrangement (32) and having a bus connection for transmitting and receiving messages via the bus (14), and has a node identification set device (34, 30) for setting a node identification, on the basis of which the node (16) can respond via the bus (14) and/or the node can be identified in the network and/or on the basis of which messages sent from the node and/or message contents can be identified and/or on the basis of which messages which are relevant for the node and/or message contents can be identified. The invention provides that the node (16) has at least one set input connection (42) which is associated with the node identification set device and is separate from the bus connection, and that the node identification set device (34, 30) can be activated by application of a set signal to the set input connection (42) to receive a nominal node identification via the set input connection and/or the bus connection, and to set this nominal node identification as the node identification.
