Abstract

A Laboratory sample distribution system (100) comprises a number of sample container carriers (140), a central controller having a network interface, and a number of transport modules (120). Each transport module (120) comprises: a transport surface (121), wherein the transport surfaces (121) of the transport modules (120) together form a transport plane (110), controllable drive means (122) being arranged below the transport surface (121) and being adapted to move sample container carriers (140) on the transport surface (121), and a control unit (123) for controlling the drive means (122). The control unit (123) comprises a network interface (124), wherein the central controller and the control units (123) of the transport modules (120) are connected with one another by means of their corresponding network interfaces (124), and wherein each control unit (123) comprises a first addressing terminal (125) and a second addressing terminal (126), wherein the addressing terminals (125, 126) of the control units (123) are connected with one another sequentially in a daisy chain topology, wherein the first addressing terminal (125) of the control unit (123) being the first control unit (123) in the sequence is connected to a first reference potential (GND) and the second addressing terminal (126) of the control unit (123) being the last control unit (123) in the sequence is connected to a second reference potential (GND).
