  • Method and system for determining the topology of a modular analysis system
    Patent number: 8031638
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of modular analytical systems. The invention enables the topology of a modular analytical system to be determined without requiring additional complicated measures such as a system reset. The method/system is also adapted to industry standards such that CAN-busses can be used.
    Type: Grant

  • Modular analytical system having at least two modules connected by a connecting plug
    Patent number: 6780064
    Abstract: The invention concerns an analytical system in which at least two modules are in contact with one another by a connecting plug, and a connecting plug which is suitable for connecting modules. When two modules are connected by the connecting plug a part of the plug extends partially underneath the bottoms of the modules such that the plug connection is secured by the dead weight of the modules.
