Fluidic function module for use in a system for constructing fluidic circuits

Abstract

Abstract A fluidic function module for constructing fluidic logical and/or analog circuit and which comprises a basic part including a plurality of fluidic circuit elements and a function connecting part which is arranged in contact with the basic part and in which passages have been formed which appropriately interconnect the input, output, supply and zero-pressure passages of the individual circuit elements, thus making the function module suitable for use as, for example, an AND, an OR, a universal or a storage module or as a function module having another desired function. The function connecting part is provided with a standard passage pattern. The user of the function module adapts the function connecting part to the intended use by removing, according to instructions given in tables, partitions from between different passages of the standard passage system and from between passages of the standard passage system and the ambient atmosphere at given grid locations and by subsequently assembling the function connecting part and the basic part to form a function module.
