Interesting facts to the BiDiB-Seriennummer / Unique-ID
The picture shows a
Unique-ID
on a BiDiBus
Device.
All SMD equipped BiDiB assemblies bought from the
Fichtelbahn shop and are on the BiDiBus will be
delivered with an installed BiDiB-serialnumber. This
srialnumber is part of the unique-ID and therefore the
complete unique ID is printed at the back side of the
cuircuit.
What is the Unique-ID?
The from the manufacturer in the kit hard programmed, unequivocal ID, consisting of 16 Bit vendor ID and
32 Bit vendor specific number (e.t. produktindex and serialnumber).
V
= VID (Vendor ID)
OD
= Do it your self projects
P
= PID (product ID)
6800
= GBMboost Master
6700
= GBMboost Node
6B00
= LightControl
0029 becomes to
2900
= serialnumber
The data of the Unique-ID are in HEX.
For what serves the Unique ID?
The Unique-ID is an absolutely unique number, with this number an assembly is found regardless of its
installation place and its place in the bus.
That means: The BiDiB system leads a sort of 'phone book', under which connection which assembly can
be reached. Then the hostprogram awards names for the single connections. The Unique-ID is here the
connector between the name in the PC and the assembly.
Example:
A LightControl is omounted under the railway station and has the Unique-ID
0D 6B001234
. In the
Hostprogramm it is called central station west. The BiDiB system announces to the Hostprogramm:
0D6B001234 you find under connection 3. If one moves something now in central station west, the
Hostprogramm looks in the phone book: ah, I should call 3.
You have normally nothing more to do with addresses and dip switches.
