An electric motor addressing system and method for a planter implement receives, at an electronic control unit (ECU), an address claim request from each motor of a plurality of motors coupled to the ECU via a first bus. Each address claim request includes a requested bus address and a binary value corresponding to a pin connector setting associated with a harness connector of the respective motor. The system associates the binary value with a physical address for each motor without reference to the bus address and maps each bus address to the physical address.

A method and system for assigning slot addresses to modules in an industrial control system is disclosed. The modules are set up in a daisy chain topology. On power-up, a first module in the chain reads its slot address from a user configurable input or sets its slot address to a default value. The first module communicates to its immediate right neighbor using a special, one-hop message. The neighboring modules communicate to receive each other's information. The first module then sets an enable signal between the modules and sends a slot number to the neighbor in a firmware message. The neighbor checks if the enable signal is set and verifies that the slot number is a valid slot number. If so, then the neighboring module accepts the slot and repeats the same procedure to its next immediate neighbor, and so on until the last module.
