Abstract
A control apparatus has a control lever, in particular for controlling a locomotive or a traction vehicle, and a sensor device for detecting an operating position of the control lever. The sensor device has an angle measurement device which is suitable for measuring an adjustment angle of the control lever, forming a digitalized angle value. A measurement range of the angle measurement device is greater than an adjustment angle range of the control lever and an evaluation device is connected to the angle measurement device which determines the operating position of the control lever based on the digitalized angle value of the angle measurement apparatus.
