Abstract

A gravimetric measuring system (10), includes a balance (12) with a weighing chamber (22) surrounded by a weighing chamber wall (23, 24, 26, 28); an electromechanical weighing system (181); an electronic control apparatus (36) for controlling the system operation according to algorithms stored in a memory (363) thereof; and a plurality of functional modules (14, 16) configured to be inserted into module receptacles (283) arranged on the weighing chamber wall (28). Each module receptacle (283) has a device-side identification interface component (30a); and each functional module has a corresponding module-side identification interface component (30b). The control apparatus (36) identifies each functional module (14, 16) inserted into a module receptacle (283), through interaction between the respective device-side and module-side identification interface components (30a, 30b) and selects one of a plurality of operating routines according to algorithms stored in the memory.
