Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The unit (2) has a bus interface (11), a release circuit (10) comprising a switch (13a) and two control connections (12) connected with one another by the switch. The release circuit releases the slave unit for assigning an address by an address signal provided at the bus interface, when a control signal is provided at one of the control connections and when the switch is open. The release circuit has a microcontroller, where the slave unit locks the switch based on a switching signal provided at the bus interface and directed to the address assigned to the slave unit. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a master unit for use with a slave unit (2) a method for dynamically addressing a slave unit.
