Abstract
The present application relates to ensuring data consistency between a modular device and an external system. Techniques are described for ensuring data consistency between devices at a control device using configuration signatures. A control device can receive and store a baseline configuration signature for a first modular device. Upon initialization of the first modular device, the control device can receive a current configuration signature from the first modular device. The control device can compare the current configuration signature with the baseline configuration signature and, if a mismatch is found, generate a notification indicating that data subsequently received from the first modular device is of uncertain integrity.
