Method for controlling or regulating the energy flow in a measuring system which can be composed of a plurality of individual modules
First Claim
1. A method of controlling or regulating the power flow in a measuring system (100, 101) composed of a plurality of intermateable individual modules (1, 11, 21, 31, 41), part or all of these individual modules (1, 11, 21, 31, 41) being connected via at least one power supply line (19, 29, 39, 49) and at least one data line (17, 27, 37, 47), at least one individual module (1, 31) of these individual modules having an interface (8, 18, 38) via which power is suppliable, wherein a power balance table is prepared in at least one individual module (1) based on power data from the connected individual modules (1, 11, 21, 31, 41);
- and the power supply and/or power consumption of the individual modules (1, 11, 21, 31, 41) is controlled or regulated based on the data stored in the power balance table.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling or regulating the energy flow in a measuring system which can be composed of a plurality of individual modules. Part or all of said individual modules are respectively connected by means of at least one energy supply line and at least one data line. At least one of said individual modules comprises an interface via which energy can be supplied. An energy balance table is created in at least one individual module on the basis of energy data from the connected individual modules. The energy supply and/or energy removal to/from the individual modules are controlled or regulated according to the data stored in the energy balance table.
