1. A portable infusion pump system, comprising:
- a pump device including;
a pump housing that defines a space to receive a medicine, and a drive system to dispense the medicine from the pump device when the medicine is received in the space of the pump housing; and
a controller device removably attachable to the pump device so as to electrically connect with the pump device and control dispensation of the medicine from the pump device, wherein the controller device automatically disables a first feature set provided by the controller device in response to electrical connection with the pump device.

Abstract
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller in which one or more features sets to be provided by the controller are enabled or disabled based upon the particular pump device that is connected to the controller. For example, in some embodiments, one or more advanced features of the controller are available to the user only when a first type of pump device (e.g., having predefined settings stored therein) is connected to the controller, and those advanced features of the controller are disabled when a second type of pump device is connected to the controller.
