Disclosed is a module system comprising a top module (12) with at least one terminal (14) for an external bus signal on an external bus, at least one pneumatic supply connection (18), a power supply connection (20), a serial bus interface (22) for an internal serial bus, a power supply interface (24), a multipole interface (26), and a pneumatic supply interface, said interfaces (22, 24, 26, pneumatic supply interface) being brought out on the same side. The inventive module system further comprises at least one functional module (42a-e) encompassing an internal serial bus line, power supply lines, electrical multipole lines, and pneumatic supply lines, each of which is guided from one side to the opposite side and is connected to the corresponding interface of the top module. The top module converts serial bus signals into multipole signals and outputs the same at the multipole interface. The functional module selectively causes at least one of the multipole lines to branch off and performs a pneumatic or electrical function or both a pneumatic and an electrical function by means of a signal that is conducted thereupon. |
