Abstract
In one embodiment, a sensor module is configured to be used in a system. The sensor module includes a sensor. The sensor can detect and convert at least one parameter to be determined into a sensor signal. The sensor module also includes a communication module that can establish a data transmission connection. The sensor module also includes a power supply unit that can supply the sensor module with electrical power. The sensor module further includes a mechanical interface. The sensor module can be connected to external application units using the mechanical interface.
