Multi-type configurable display gauge

Abstract

The present invention relates to a display gauge, particularly used in a cab of a motor vehicle. The display gauge comprises a display unit and a control unit, the display unit having a stationary warning zone, the control unit being connectable with different types of sensors to receive sensor signals, wherein the display gauge further comprises a coded selector that can be operated by a user, the selector being electrically connected to the control unit to transmit to the control unit a signal indicative of a type of a current sensor signal selected by the user, and the control unit controls display of the display unit according to a value of the current sensor signal, so that a state in which the value of the current sensor signal reaches a warning value range can be displayed through the warning zone regardless of the type of the sensor. The present invention allows to display multiple types of sensor signals by a single display gauge, and to exhibit different functions or sensor signal types with different symbols or icons.
