Abstract:
An electrofluidic modular system made up of modules which are secured to a bar and may be mounted one after the other, comprising fluidic modules having collecting channels for actuator ports, electric modules including bus terminals and electric terminals for actuators, and function modules, the modular system providing at least one interface module is which has on one connecting side a first connecting configuration with electric and fluidic terminals and with a contour which are adapted to the modules of the modular system, and has on the opposite connecting side a second connecting configuration which is different from the first and has electric terminals and a contour which are adapted to modules of a modular system of a different provider secured to the same bar, the modular system comprising an internal bus which is an extension of an external bus of the modular system of the different provider.
