Control device for providing a reconfigurable operator interface

摘要

A control device for providing a reconfigurable operator interface for a medical apparatus, the control device comprising a control surface and control actuators arranged on the control surface, characterized by comprising modules (11, 14, 26) arranged side-by-side, wherein the modules (11, 14, 26) are attached to each-other via their adjacent abutting side surfaces in a liquid-tight manner, the modules (11, 14, 26) comprising- a first terminal module (11) having a closing end surface (12) and an abutting side surface opposite the closing side surface (12), and- a second terminal module (14) having an abutting side surface facing towards the abutting side surface of the first terminal module (11), and an opposite closing end surface (16),wherein the control device comprises means for enabling an operation of the control device only if all the abutting side surfaces in the control device are in an attached state.
