    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of initializing a set of controllable units in an electrical system. The method comprises: A) obtaining, by a controllable unit controller module in a sequence of the controllable units, a discovery message on a non-addressable data pathway; B) broadcasting on an addressable data bus, by the controllable unit controller module, an identity of the functional unit; C) transmitting the discovery message to another controllable unit controller module in the sequence of the controllable units by way of the non-addressable data pathway; and D) recording, by the system controller module, the broadcasted identity of the controllable unit.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control module circuit having a circuit communication input port, a circuit communication output port, a first controllable unit that has a first controller module, and a second controllable unit having a second controller module. The first controller module has a first communication input port connected with the circuit communication input port and a first communication output port. The second controller module has a second communication input port connected with the first communication output port and a second communication output port connected with the circuit communication output port. The first and second controllable units are adapted to be identified with a permanent identity by way of a transmittable data signal receivable at the communication input port and sequentially received by the first and second controllable units.
