Abstract
A modular surgical system is disclosed. The modular surgical system can include a control module, a first surgical module, and a second surgical module that are arrangeable in a stack. The control module can include a pulse generator to generate a clock pulse signals. Each of the first and second surgical modules can include a timing circuit and a delay circuit. Each timing circuit can receive the clock pulse signal and start a timer. A first delay circuit of the first surgical module can also receive the clock pulse signal and transmit a first delayed sequence signal to the timing circuit of the first module. A second delay circuit of the second surgical can also receive the first delayed sequence signal from the first delay circuit and transmit a second delayed sequence signal to the clock timer of the second surgical module.
