| 1. A device for the destruction-free testing concrete components with ultrasound, comprising:
at least one sensor module with several ultrasonic testing heads functioning as transmitters and/or receivers;
a device for producing transmitter impulses for ultrasonic radiation provided with the sensor module; and
a device for acquiring ultrasonic readings provided with the sensor module,
wherein several sensor modules for forming an array are mechanically connected to one another, and wherein a control and evaluation
device for activating the sensor modules with their ultrasonic heads, and for evaluation of the readings delivered by the
sensor modules is connected via a bus system with control and data leads to the sensor modules, and the control and evaluation
device is designed in a manner such that it recognizes the respective sensor module on joining together into the array, and
configures and activates it, as a transmitter sensor or a receiver sensor.
