Abstract
Provided is a sensor system which allows setting and adjustment to be conducted in a simple manner. The sensor system comprises a plurality of sensor units which are adapted to be placed closely one next to another and each assigned with an individual address, and a mobile console which is adapted to be connected to at least one of the sensor units, each of the sensor units comprising a connector provided on each side for allowing communication with a corresponding one of the adjacent sensor units, and a data relaying arrangement for relaying data received from one of the adjacent sensor units via one of the connectors to the other adjacent sensor unit via the other connectors when the data is not intended for the particular sensor unit so as to permit a data communication from the mobile console to the sensor units or from the sensor units to the mobile console.
