Modular surgical energy system

A modular surgical system for use in a surgical procedure comprising:

• a control module having a pulse generator configured to generate a clock pulse signal;
• a first surgical module arrangeable in a stack configuration with the control module, wherein the first surgical module comprises:
• a first timing circuit, wherein the clock pulse signal causes the first timing circuit to initiate a first timer;
• and
• a first delay circuit, wherein the clock pulse signal causes the first delay circuit to transmit a first delayed sequence signal to the first timing circuit to finalize the first timer and set a first elapsed time, wherein the first timing circuit and the first delay circuit are electrically couplable with the pulse generator when the first surgical module is arranged in the stack configuration with the control module;
• and
• a second surgical module arrangeable with the control module and the first surgical module in the stack configuration, wherein the second surgical module comprises:
• a second timing circuit, wherein the clock pulse signal causes the second timing circuit to initiate a second timer;
• and
• a second delay circuit, wherein the first delayed sequence signal causes the second delay circuit to transmit a second delayed sequence signal to the second timing circuit to finalize the second timer and set a second elapsed time, wherein the second timing circuit is electrically couplable with the pulse generator and the second delay circuit is electrically couplable with the first delay circuit when the second surgical module is arranged in the stack configuration with the control module and the first surgical module.
