ABSTRACT:
A multiple node network includes a plurality of terminal nodes. A management node at least initially manages the terminal nodes. A bus connects the respective terminal nodes and the management node to one another. The respective terminal nodes and the management node communicate with one another using the bus. The management node requests identification codes from each terminal node. Each terminal node responds with an individual identification code and then receives a physical address from the management node to establish communication. When a fault in the management node is detected while a terminal node is trying to enter communication, the terminal node assigns an arbitrary address to establish communication if the arbitrary address is not identical to any other terminal node address or after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed.
