INFORMATION!
It is of great importance to ensure at the time of the procedure of devices addressing, that there
are not two devices with the same address. In such a case, an abnormal behaviour of the whole
serial bus can occur. It is then impossible for the master to communicate with all present slaves
on the bus.
