ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides systems, methods, and bus controllers (12) for establishing communication with various network systems located on a network system (10). Importantly, the systems, methods, and bus controllers (12) of the present invention are capable recognizing that a new network device (16, 18, 20) has been added to an existing network and assigning it an address such that the added network device is identifiable on the network. Further, the systems, methods, and bus controllers (12) of the present invention may update the operating schedule that outlines communication in the network system between the bus controller (12) and the network devices (16, 18, 20) to include commands for communicating with the added network device. The systems, methods, and bus controllers (12) of the present invention may also detect when a network device (16, 18, 20) has been disconnected from a network system (10) and remove the commands associated with the networked device from the command schedule.
