Patent ID: 7503816

Claim:
Connection system, in particular a plug-in connection system for the transmission of data and power supply signals between a sensor means ( 2 ) and a base unit in a measuring and transmission system, comprising a sensor-side connection element ( 1 ) with a power signal receiver ( 12 ), a data modulator/demodulator unit ( 13 ) which can be coupled at least indirectly, for the purposes of signalling, to at least one measuring sensor ( 8 , 9 ) of the sensor means, as well as a first coupling partner element ( 14 ) for the preferably contactless transmission of data and power supply signals via a coupling path ( 15 ), a base-side connection element ( 4 ) with a second coupling partner element ( 16 ) of the coupling path ( 15 ), a power signal transmitter ( 17 ), a data modulator/demodulator unit ( 18 ), a data interface ( 20 ) which can be connected to the base unit with respect to data, as well as a primary power supply ( 21 ), a microprocessor-assisted control and memory unit ( 19 ) in at least one of the connection elements ( 1 , 4 ), and an input unit ( 32 ) on at least one of the connection elements ( 4 ) for inputting sensor-relevant commands.
