Abstract
The invention relates to a functional module with a housing. The housing is comprised of a holder for a submodule. The submodule can be mounted in the holder in two different rotary positions. The submodules of the functional module can be simply mounted on the functional module as independent elements and replaced on it when necessary. This leads, in particular, to a substantial reduction of expenses for repairs, because only the submodule has to be replaced when there is a defect in a submodule, for instance. Different configurations of the functional module are realized with minor effort because of the possibility of attaching the submodule(s) in different rotary positions on the functional module; especially simple adaptation to different applications is possible because of that.
