Apparatus for technical diagnosis of errors in a medical system, in particular a dentist's system

摘要

The diagnosis appts. includes several components which communicate via a serial communication bus with each other. The components include devices for conducting self-tests. The self tests deliver test results which are delivered to the service processor (11) as input values. The service processor contains a first module with a diagnosis software component which allows an interactive fault diagnosis off-line. A second module forms a connection between the first module and the device components for an on-line diagnosis with the first module. Interactively provided answers in the connection logic flow back and are connected until they clearly provide a fault diagnosis.
