1. An energy module of a modular energy system, the energy module configured to connect to a surgical instrument, the energy module comprising:
a first port;
a second port;
a third port;
a fourth port;
a first amplifier coupled to the first port, the first amplifier configured to generate a first electrical signal for driving an ultrasonic surgical assembly;
a second amplifier coupled to the first port, the second amplifier configured to generate a second electrical signal for driving a bipolar electrosurgical assembly;
a third amplifier configured to generate a third electrical signal for driving a monopolar electrosurgical assembly;
a relay assembly coupled to the third amplifier, the first port, the second port, and the third port, the relay assembly comprising:
a first relay to selectively couple the third amplifier to the first port to transmit the third electrical signal to the first port;
a second relay to selectively couple the third amplifier to the second port to transmit the third electrical signal to the second port; and
a third relay to selectively couple the third amplifier to the third port to transmit the third electrical signal to the third port; and
a fourth amplifier coupled to the fourth port, the fourth amplifier configured to generate a fourth electrical signal for driving a bipolar electrosurgical assembly.
