1. A system, comprising:
at least one bus participant, each bus participant including:
an input;
an output;
a ground terminal; and
electronic circuitry arranged between the input and the output and including:
a supply voltage terminal;
a first resistor arranged between the supply voltage terminal and the output;
a second resistor arranged between the input and the ground terminal;
a third resistor;
a first controllable semiconductor switch adapted to selectively connect the third resistor between the input and the supply voltage terminal;
a fourth resistor; and
a second controllable semiconductor switch adapted to selectively connect the fourth resistor between the output and the supply voltage terminal.
