ABSTRACT:
In a modular system having a plurality of modules therein, an identification system for, and method of, identifying individual ones of the plurality of modules. The identification system includes: (1) a request generator, associated with a controller of the modular system, that requests each of the ones of the modules to select a polling number, the controller polling the ones of the modules as a function of a value of the polling number to obtain an identification code associated therewith and (2) a polling generator within the controller that assigns a logical identification number to the each of the ones of the modules as a function of the value of the polling number.
