Abstract
In a set of devices for transferring electric signals, devices according to at least two different designs are provided. Each device comprises a bus and a connector providing electrical and mechanical connection of the bus to a bus of another of the devices. Each device further includes terminals for external connection of the device to electrical arrangements, for signal exchange with the electrical arrangements. Each device further includes a signal adapting module electrically connected to the bus and to the terminals. The different designs of the devices allow sets of devices to be combined in a way which utilizes space efficiently.
