ABSTRACT:
An object-oriented modular electronic component system comprises a plurality of self-contained operating modules, each having external mechanical and electromagnetic interconnecting devices. It includes a user module for performing a specific function, a database module for identifying the presence, location, and function of each of the operating modules of the system, a communications module for transmitting digital electromagnetic messages among the operating modules, a power supply module for providing electrical power to the operating modules, and a power bus device for delivering power from the power supply module to the operating modules. The communications module, the power supply module, the data base module, and the user module are all capable of being selectively operatively releasably connected, mechanically and electromagnetically. The modules are all electromagnetically disconnected in an inoperative mode and are electromagnetically connected in an operative mode. With this arrangement, operation of the modular object-oriented electronic component system may be achieved without accessing the interior of any of the operating modules. A self-contained power bus module has external mechanical and electromagnetic interconnecting devices for proper interconnection with the power supply module and with each of the user modules. The communications module is responsive to the presence of each of the other operating modules, when in the operative mode, to determine the parameters necessary for transmitting the digital electromagnetic messages among all of the modules. A specialization module may be provided for transmitting non-digital and trigger pulse type electrical signals among the user modules.
