Abstract

See full text

A flexible charger network includes one or more chargers, each coupled to a processor, and is configured to perform the following operations: at power-up, a charger announces its presence to the network, and requests and awaits an acknowledgement by the network; and, if no acknowledgement is received from the network, that charger assumes a role of master of the network; or, if a response is received from the network, that charger acknowledges an existing master and assumes the role of slave within the network.
