  • a vacuum pump can be a backing pump, in particular for a vacuum pump arrangement which also has a turbomolecular pump.
  • the term “vacuum device” is also intended to extend to pumps which are only designed to deliver incompressible fluids. The invention thus also relates to pumps which do not necessarily have to be designed to generate a vacuum.
  • a vacuum device in question can also be a drive device and / or a user device.
  • Such a drive and / or user device can be designed for use with a further vacuum device, in particular for use with a vacuum pump, a vacuum measuring device, a vacuum analyzer, a leak detector, a vacuum valve and / or a vacuum chamber device.

  • the predefined action can be triggered completely or partially automatically or automatically.
  • the predefined action can only be completed after confirmation by the user.
  • a plurality of function modules are provided.
  • the flexibility of use can be improved or the number of functionalities to be provided can be increased.
  • the central unit and / or the functional module can be expandable by at least one further functional module designed as an expansion module, preferably by a plurality of functional modules designed as expansion modules.
  • the modular configurability can be achieved in this way with particularly little effort.
  • the module configuration can thus relate to the compilation of the central unit and the existing expansion modules.
  • the module configuration can preferably be determinable by arranging or omitting a function module designed as an expansion module, in particular by the type of the expansion module and / or by the number of expansion modules. This can ensure further improved flexibility of use.
  • their position can also serve to determine a module configuration or be relevant for the detection of a typical application. For example, it can make a difference whether a particular module is lightweight accessible on the front of a rack device - and therefore frequent manual access can be assumed - or is arranged on the back of a built-in rack device, which suggests a one-time installation.
  • the module configuration can be determined by establishing a data connection between the central unit and the at least one function module, in particular by the type of the function module and / or by the number of function modules.
  • the central unit can access information about the respectively connected functional module and the identification of the module configuration can be simplified.
  • At least one functional module can be designed as a vacuum device, in particular as a vacuum pump, vacuum measuring device, vacuum analysis device, leak detector, vacuum valve, drive device and / or user device. Accordingly, several vacuum devices, for example several vacuum pumps and / or a connected drive device and / or a connected user device, can form a module configuration. The possibilities of configurability are further increased in this way.
  • At least one functional module can be designed as a sub-module of a vacuum device, in particular as a sub-module of a vacuum pump, a vacuum measuring device, a vacuum analysis device, a leak detector, a vacuum valve, a drive device and / or a user device. Configurability can therefore already take place at the level of an individual vacuum device, which further improves the possibilities of configurability.

Such a detection can be used for further user support.
  • a recognition device connected to the central unit is provided for the automatic recognition of the module configuration.
  • the detection can thus take place independently of the central unit.
  • the central unit is set up to compare the module configuration with a target configuration and / or the central unit is set up to, depending on a comparison result between trigger a predefined action for the module configuration and a target configuration.

  • a target configuration can be stored in the central unit, for example. It is also possible for the central unit to be connected to a comparison device for comparing the module configuration with a target configuration.

  • the predefined action can advantageously include preventing and / or releasing a device functionality.
  • the central device can preferably be set up to completely or partially prevent and / or enable device functionalities depending on a comparison result between the module configuration and a target configuration.
  • Such blocking and / or releasing can be advantageous for several reasons. For example, it may not be permissible for a user to open a vacuum device or a function module for the purpose of conversion, since the correct function can then no longer be ensured by the manufacturer or the user who has not been trained accordingly, for example due to high voltages or temperatures in the vacuum device , is at risk.
  • a combination of function modules can be prevented, for example. This applies, for example, to a combination of functional modules that have an unintended operating state of the vacuum device or would cause a single function module, such as an excessive current consumption due to the given number or combination of function modules.

It an already stored or predefined function view can therefore be configured or reconfigured by adaptation. For this purpose, for example, individual functional elements can be added and / or removed.

  • the at least one functional view can be completely and / or partially configurable by programming-free creation and / or can be configurable by programming-free adaptation of an existing functional view.
