Information processing apparatus with internal modules

摘要

The device (1) has internal modules (2-5) that are directly or indirectly connected together and that exchange data or information or electrical or optical signals to form an overall function. Each individual module has at least one non-volatile or volatile memory (6) in which operating state data of the unit can be read. The data processing device has an arrangement (7) connected to the memories of the individual modules and the operating state data of each module is collectively placed in a non-volatile memory of the arrangement.
