Abstract
A device for hooking up a signal-outputting mechanism with two potential sensors each of which has allocated to it two evaluation terminals, wherein the potentials of the evaluation terminals depend inversely on the resistances between the respective evaluation terminals.
Claims12
A device having a group of terminals for hooking up a first or a second signal-outputting mechanism, wherein the group of terminals comprises at least one first evaluation terminal, which is set by a first potential sensor to a first potential, which depends on a first resistance of the first signal-outputting mechanism between the first evaluation terminal and another one of the group of terminals, and wherein the group of terminals includes at least one second evaluation terminal, which is set by a second potential sensor to a second potential, which depends on a second resistance of the second signal-outputting mechanism between the second evaluation terminal and another one of the group of terminals,
- the first evaluation terminal being connected directly with an inverting input of the first potential sensor, wherein a non-inverting input of the first potential sensor is connected to another first evaluation terminal via a first resistor,
- the second evaluation terminal being connected directly with a non-inverting input of the second potential sensor, wherein an inverting input of the second potential sensor is connected to another second evaluation terminal via a second resistor,
- wherein the first potential is low if the first resistance is low-ohmic, and the second potential is high if the second resistance is low-ohmic.
A device having a group of terminals for hooking up a signal-outputting mechanism, wherein the group of terminals comprises at least one first evaluation terminal, which is set by a first potential sensor to a first potential, wherein the first evaluation terminal is connected directly with an inverting input of a first operational amplifier of the first potential sensor, wherein another first evaluation terminal is connected with an output of the first operational amplifier, wherein a second evaluation terminal is connected directly with a non-inverting input of a second operational amplifier of a second potential sensor, and wherein another second evaluation terminal is connected with an output of the second operational amplifier.
