A modular energy system including a header module and a module. The header module includes a display screen for displaying a user interface. The header module is configured to receive data, including safety critical data, from the module, control the display screen to cause the UI to display UI content based on the received data, the UI content including safety critical UI content based on the safety critical data, and transmit the displayed safety critical UI content to the module for verification thereby. The module is configured to confirm whether the transmitted safety critical data coincides with the displayed safety critical UI content. In the event that it is determined that they do not coincide, the header module and/or the module can be configured to stop the function(s) of the module, display an alert on the display screen, and take various other actions.

Disclosed is an industrial control device including a point-to-point backplane/point module architecture providing RIUP (Removal and Insertion Under Power) functionality where data communications between modules is maintained after the removal of a point module from the backplane. According to an exemplary embodiment, a backplane includes a plurality of passive mechanical bypass switches controlled by the insertion and removal of respective point modules, whereby data communicated bypass a removed point module interface and point-to-point data communications are provided to an inserted point module after an initial routine is executed by a microcontroller associated with the inserted point module.

A modular energy system that can include a header module removably couplable to one or more energy modules. The one or more energy modules collectively comprise multiple ports to which a surgical instrument is connectable and are each configured to drive a plurality of energy modalities for the surgical instrument. The header module can comprise a display screen configured to display a user interface. The header module is connectable to a footswitch such that the header module can receive a control signal from the footswitch and can send a control signal to the footswitch. The header module can further comprise configured to assign the footswitch to a particular port and, based on user input received via the user interface, reassign the footswitch to another of the ports.

A first module configured to engage with a second module in a stacked configuration to define a modular energy system is provided. The first module comprises a first bridge connector portion and a second conductive portion. The first bridge connector portion is configured to engage with a second bridge connector portion of the second module as the first module and the second module are engaged. The first conductive portion is configured to engage with a second conductive portion of the second module as the first module and the second module are engaged, prior to engagement between the first bridge connector portion and the second bridge connector portion.

A method for controlling a user interface of a modular energy system. The modular energy system comprises a header module and a display screen on which the user interface is displayed. The modular energy system can detect attachment of a first module thereto, control the user interface to display one or more first user interface elements corresponding to the first module, detect attachment of a second module to the modular energy system, control the user interface to resize the one or more first user interface elements to accommodate display of one or more second user interface elements corresponding to the second module, and control the user interface to display the one or more second user interface elements. The various UI elements can correspond to the particular module type that is being connected to the modular energy system.

The invention relates to a system for arranging electronic control units (ECUs) in a chassis of a vehicle. The system comprises a set of ECUs arranged on corresponding circuit boards that are arranged in corresponding casing members. Each casing member comprises a frame structure extending circumferentially in a plane substantially parallel to its corresponding layer. Each circuit board extends in a plane substantially parallel to its corresponding layer and is arranged inside the frame structure of the corresponding casing member. First and second end plates are arranged at opposite end portions of the layered structure. The first end plate is adapted to be connected to the chassis of the vehicle, and at least one connection member extends along the layered structure between opposite end portions thereof. The at least one connection member is configured to be connected to the first and second end plates to hold the layered structure together.

An electronic control unit for a vehicle, including: a pressure-sensor-element (PSE); a housing having a pressure-guide by which the PSE has a pressure-medium applied to it under pressure; an evaluation-unit to generate a pressure-signal, dependent on the pressure detected by the pressure-sensor-element in the pressure-guide; and a circuit-carrier on which at least part of control-electronics of the control-unit is arranged; the pressure-signal of the evaluation-unit being put in the control-electronics, the pressure-guide making direct contact with the circuit-carrier and a sealing-element arranged in the contact-region between the pressure-guide and the circuit-carrier, the sealing-element sealing a region of the pressure-guide to which the pressure-medium is applied under pressure from the surroundings, the PSE being arranged directly on the circuit-carrier, such that the PSE is arranged in the region of the pressure-guide to which the pressure-medium is applied under pressure, and the evaluation-unit being electrically directly connected to the circuit-carrier.

A fixing device used with an electronic device having a base includes a housing and two pressing elements. The housing includes an accommodating space for accommodating the base. Each pressing element includes a pressing portion and a latch portion. The pressing portions protrude from opposite sides of the housing, and the latch portions protrude from a bottom of the accommodating space. The base includes two positioning structures corresponding to the latch portions. When the electronic device is in the locked state, the base is accommodated in the accommodating space, and the positioning structure and the latch portion are coupled so the electronic device is fixed in the accommodating space. When the electronic device is in the unlocked state, the pressing portions are simultaneously subjected to external opposing forces, and the positioning structure is uncoupled from the latch portion so the electronic device can be disassembled from the accommodating space.
