    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method and device for identifying hardware. SOLUTION: A microprocessor (digital device) having micro-codes is integrated in a mechanical device. The mechanical device has an analog electric signal line for sending a digital signal including the identification data of the device itself to a central computer. Since the digital signal includes an operation range and other optional information, the mechanical device can be recognized by the information and the operation control of the device can be automatically integrated into the whole system on the basis of the information without interrupting it. The digital signal is transmitted to a central computer system immediately after detecting a power ON signal by the microprocessor built in the mechanical device.

    Abstract: A MICROPROCESSOR (DIGITAL DEVICE) WITH MICROCODE IS INCORPORATED IN A MECHANICAL DEVICE, HAVING ANALOG ELECTRICAL SIGNALING WIRES, TO SEND A DIGITAL SIGNAL CONTAINING IDENTIFYING DATA OF THE DEVICE TO A CENTRAL COMPUTER. THE DIGTAL SIGNAL INCLUDES OPERATING RANGES AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THT WILL ALLOW THE CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE DEVICE AND AUTOMATICALLY INCOPORATE THE DEVICE''S OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS INTO THE TOTAL SYSTEM WITHOUT DISRUPTION. THE DIGITAL SIGNAL IS TRANSMITTED TO THE CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER A POWER-ON SIGNAL IS DETECTED BY THE MICROPROCESSOR ON BOARD THE MECHANICAL DEVICE. FIG 3
