Module system for a radiometric measuring device

Abstract

A module system for a radiometric measuring device includes a basic module having a sensor arrangement designed to generate a measurement signal on the basis of radiation which strikes the sensor arrangement, a signal evaluation unit electrically coupled to the sensor arrangement and being designed to determine a measurement variable on the basis of the measurement signal, a control device interface, wherein the basic module is coupleable to at least one control device by the control device interface for interchanging data, the basic module being supplied with electrical energy solely via its control device interface in a basic operating state, and an expansion module interface. The module system further includes an expansion module which is separate from the basic module and has a basic module interface, the basic module interface being able to be coupled to the expansion module interface for interchanging data, interchanging energy, and/or interchanging measurement signals, a number of functional groups, and an energy supply interface coupleable to an energy supply unit separate from the basic module and the expansion module, wherein energy provided via the energy supply interface is used to supply energy to the expansion module.
