Abstract

A modular system (10) having a primary unit housing (12) having two lateral ends (14) and enclosing a processor. The modular system (10) includes at least one sidecar module (16) which includes a case (18) and an individual electronic system enclosed in the case (18) that is adapted to be electrically connected with the processor. The at least one sidecar module (16) is adapted to be successively stackable on either one of the two lateral ends (14) of the primary unit housing (12) and to be attached thereto. The modular system (10) may alternately include at least one sidecar module (16) which includes a case (18) and an individual electronic system that is enclosed in the case (18). The individual electronic system being adapted to be electrically connected with the processor and performing a function different from that performed by the processor. The at least one sidecar module (16) is adapted to be successively stackable on one of the two lateral ends (20) of the primary unit housing (12) and to be attached thereon.
