Before communication with a slave is possible, a string reset must be
successfully carried out. The string reset at a slave synchronises the
handshake bits between master and slave. There are two ways to trigger a
string reset:
-
The reset is initiated by the master when the slave is registered.
-
The reset is initiated at a later time by the slave (see also “Triggering a
String Reset by the Slave”).
A string slave is only addressed for string transmission by means of its
logical slave address (although the logical address can be the same as the
physical address).
