Sensor end module, sensor and measuring system

1. A sensor end module, comprising:

a sensor cap having a first connecting element and a sensorially active element for contact with a medium;

a memory module, comprising: a housing having a second connecting element, wherein said second connecting element enters into a shape- and/or force interlocking connection with said first connecting element; a memory element, wherein said memory element contains information concerning said sensorially active element, wherein said memory element is arranged in or on said housing; a first communication interface for sending and/or receiving information and/or data, and wherein said first communication interface is in electrical contact with said memory element; and

an electronic fuse which is so embodied that only a one-tme read-out of the information of said memory element is possible.

2. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said sensorially active element is a membrane, said membrane is so embodied that it changes its chemical, physical and/or biological features as a function of a substance of the medium.

3. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:

the substance is gaseous or dissolved oxygen.

4. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the information includes an identification number, calibration data, date of manufacture, production data, identifying data of said sensorially active element and/or operating data.

5. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said housing is manufactured of a non-conductive material.

6. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

a mechanical encoding is provided on said first connecting element and on said second connecting element, said mechanical encoding unequivocally associates said first connecting element and said second connecting element.

7. The sensor end module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said first communication interface is a contact equipped or contactless interface.

8. A sensor for measuring and/or monitoring a process variable of a medium, comprising:

a sensor end module including a sensor cap having a first connecting element and a sensorially active element for contact with a medium; and a memory module, comprising: a housing having a second connecting element, wherein said second connecting element enters into a shape- and/or force interlocking connection with said first connecting element; a memory element, wherein said memory element contains information concerning said sensorially active element, wherein said memory element is arranged in or on said housing; a first communication interface for sending and/or receiving information and/or data, and wherein said first communication interface is in electrical contact with said memory element;

a sensor shaft having: a second communication interface compatible with said first communication interface for sending and/or receiving information and/or data to/from said first communication interface;

a measuring component for registering chemical, physical and/or biological features of the sensorially active element; and

a superordinated unit for processing the features of said sensorially active element registered by said measuring component and/or the information in said memory element, wherein mechanical connecting means are provided, which connect said sensor end module with said sensor shaft, wherein:

said measuring component is an optical transmission system and an optical receiving system.

9. A measuring system comprising a sensor end module, comprising:

a sensor cap having a first connecting element and a sensorially active element for contact with a medium; and a memory module;

a housing having a second connecting element, wherein said second connecting element enters into a shape- and/or force interlocking connection with said first connecting element;

a memory element, wherein said memory element contains information concerning said sensorially active element, wherein said memory element is arranged in or on said housing; a first communication interface for sending and/or receiving information and/or data, and wherein said first communication interface is in electrical contact with said memory element;

a reading unit having a second communication interface compatible with said first communication interface for sending and/or receiving information and/or data to or from said first communication interface;

an electronic fuse which is so embodied that only a one-time read-out of the information of said memory element is possible;

a connecting element; and

a superordinated system, wherein:

said connecting element electrically connects said reading unit with said superordinated system; and

said superordinated system reads the information and/or data out of said memory element and/or writes into said memory element.
