Abstract (en)

Event or ambient condition detectors which incorporate isolation circuitry will generate the address of the next detector. The detector which receives the address communicates an acknowledge signal to the address assigning detecting indicating that it has properly received the address. The address receiving detector in turn, after storing the received address, increments same and transmits it to an adjacent detector. The adjacent detector upon receipt of a valid address acknowledges same. The detectors communicate on a bidirectional communication link and utilize isolation circuitry for the purpose of transmitting an address to be received by and stored in an adjacent detector. The isolation circuitry can incorporate solid state or mechanical switches. <IMAGE>
