More Information
Summary:A device comprises a main module 206, a plurality of secondary modules 208, 210, 212, 214, and a data bus configured to enable data transmission between the main module and the plurality of secondary modules over a data line 104 of the data bus. Each of the plurality of secondary modules is configured with a unique secondary address used by the main module to communicate with the respective secondary module over the data line. The main module is operable to configure a first two or more of the plurality of secondary modules with a first common secondary address for simultaneous data transmission from the main module to the first two or more of the plurality of secondary modules over the data line. The data bus may be a two-wire bus comprising the data line for transmission of data signals and a clock line for transmission of clock signals. The main module may be operable to configure the first two or more secondary modules with the first common address during start-up of the main module.
