What is described here is a system for centrally monitoring and/or controlling at least one unit for endoscopy and particularly for minimally invasive surgery, such as an insufflation means, a pump, a light source and/or a video camera, wherein the unit or units to be controlled are interconnected via interfaces. The inventive system is characterised by the combination of the following features: the units are connected via the interfaces on a self-configuring bus to a BUS master, the BUS master configures the bus automatically, the BUS master monitors the communication on the bus for correct execution.

1. System for centrally controlling a plurality of instruments for endoscopy characterized by: a self-configuring bus and a bus master and a plurality of interfaces interconnecting the instruments to the self-configuring bus; the instruments being operatively connected via interfaces on the self-configuring bus to said bus master, the bus master monitoring communication on the bus for correct execution; the bus master configuring the bus automatically whenever a said instrument is either newly connected or is disconnected from said bus without interruption of the operation of the system.
