Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system for checking a correct mounting of a plurality of sensors, in particular of sensors mounted in an engine system, comprising a controller configured to communicate with the plurality of sensors, wherein the controller is configured to control a switching on or off of the power supply to at least a sub-group of the sensors and to check whether a sensor whose power supply was switched on is communicating, wherein the system is configured such that at least two sensors are connected to a common power supply port and are therefore powered on or off at the same time, wherein the at least two sensors comprise at least two different types of sensors.
Claims15
A system for checking a correct mounting of a plurality of sensors, in particular of sensors mounted in an engine system, comprising a controller configured to communicate with the plurality of sensors,
- wherein the controller is configured to control a switching on or off of a power supply to at least a sub-group of the sensors and to check whether a sensor whose power supply was switched on is communicating,
- wherein the system is configured such that at least two sensors are connected to a common power supply port and are therefore powered on or off at the same time, wherein the at least two sensors comprise at least two different types of sensors.
A system for checking a correct mounting of a plurality of sensors, in particular of sensors mounted in an engine system, the system comprising a controller configured to communicate with the plurality of sensors,
- wherein the controller is configured to control a switching on or off of a power supply to at least a sub-group of the sensors and to check whether a sensor whose power supply was switched on is communicating,
- wherein at least one sensor and preferably at least two sensors have a power supply port that is switched on and off together with the controller.
A method for checking a correct mounting of a plurality of sensors, the sensors preferably mounted in an engine system, the method comprising
- controlling a switching on or off of a power supply to at least a sub-group of the sensors and
- checking whether a sensor whose power supply was switched on is communicating;
- wherein
- at least two sensors are connected to a common power supply port and are therefore powered on or off at the same time, wherein the at least two sensors comprise at least two different types of sensors;
- and/or
- at least one sensor and preferably at least two sensors have a power supply port that is switched on together with a power supply of a controller and are therefore powered on together with the controller.
