ABSTRACT:
A control system comprises modules, and control means to control assignment of addresses to the modules. Each particular module has a particular number. The control means iteratively determines which one of the modules has an extreme one among the particular numbers. Each module is stimulated to conditionally respond if its particular number lies within a certain range. The range is altered until the module with the extreme is found. This process is repeated for the next lower extreme until all modules have been validated. Addresses are then created and stored in the modules for access during operational use.
