Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, if an attempt is made to connect a non-matching accessory to the instrument, this can cause physical damage to the instrument, particularly in the area of ​​its coupling elements
Furthermore, it cannot always be guaranteed that the instrument will nevertheless be able to use

Embodiment Construction

[0021] exist figure 1 A schematic diagram of the device according to the invention is shown in , which also illustrates the method according to the invention.

[0022] The first system component 1 is equipped with an identification unit 11 in which at least one piece of information, preferably a plurality of pieces of information, is stored for a characteristic 10 of the first system component 1 .

[0023] The second system component 2 can be connected to the first system component 1 via a coupling unit 4 . The coupling is preferably achieved by interconnecting the first and second coupling parts 12 , 22 .

[0024] The testing unit 3 , also called a controller, has a central intelligence or logic circuit 30 and is in operative connection with the first and second system components 1 , 2 .

[0025] If a coupling is now established between the first and second system components 1 , 2 , the information or data stored in the identification unit 11 is transmitted to the testing u...

Abstract

In an apparatus for recognizing couplings between a first and a second component of a system, one of the two components is provided with an identification unit. A checking unit is operatively connected to the second component. The identification unit contains an item of information relating to the first component. The checking unit is designed for recognizing and processing this item of information. The checking unit moreover is designed such that, as a function of a result of the processing of the item of information, it allows or prevents coupling between the first and the second component. This apparatus enables a combined use of system components only in the case of an admissible coupling thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for identifying a coupling between two components of a system according to the preamble of claim 1 or 15 . Background technique [0002] In general, a coupling between two system components is always possible if the two coupling components which are to establish the connection between the two system components are physically complementary and the two components form a unit. This can be identified easily by means of the plug connection. [0003] However, especially in the field of medical technology, such standards are often not sufficient. For example US2006 / 0073048 discloses a washer pump with replaceable hose set and console. The hose set includes a radio frequency identification device (RFID) in which the physical characteristics of the hose set are stored. The console reads these data and, taking into account other data, decides whether the pump together with the hose set is suitable for delivering ...
