Abstract

See full text

An apparatus comprising a socket insert that is arranged in a receptacle of the apparatus. The socket insert is connected to an operating medium connector. In the receptacle a data interface is covered by the socket insert and inaccessible from outside. To obtain access to the apparatus software or data, the socket insert can be replaced by a service insert that covers the operating medium output but contacts the data plug. The service insert allows communication with the apparatus control to input or output data and/or programs. The arrangement of the service interface covered by socket inserts provides an effective means for access control to the service interface. It impedes or avoids non-authorized access to the interface and damages for persons and material that otherwise could occur due to the missing disruptive discharge proof potential separation between the service interface and particularly the power section of the apparatus control.
