Abstract
A magnetic resonance system has components that include a magnetic field generation unit for generation of a basic magnetic field, gradient coils for generation of a field gradient as well as a radio-frequency coil arrangement with a number of radio-frequency coils for transmission and reception of radio-frequency signals. These components can respectively be activated according to a sequence via at least one digital module and at least one analog module. The analog modules are arranged externally to a control computer controlling the digital modules. The digital modules also are arranged externally to the control computer and are associated with the analog module or modules controlled by said digital modules. A data network is provided for communication between the digital modules and the control computer and a synchronous network is provided for synchronization of the digital modules and the control computer.
