Abstract
An electronic circuit configuration for optionally connecting an active rotary speed sensor or a passive rotary speed sensor to an electronic control unit of a commercial vehicle.
Claims14
An electronic circuit configuration, comprising:
- an assigned signal conditioning circuit via which at least one rotary speed sensor of a vehicle is connected to an electronic control unit for further signal processing of a rotary speed signal, wherein the signal conditioning circuit includes a switching arrangement for optionally connecting one of an active rotary speed sensor and a passive rotary speed sensor,
- wherein the switching arrangement includes a signal conditioning subcircuit for the active rotary speed sensor and a signal conditioning subcircuit for the passive rotary speed sensor, which are able to be activated using at least one switching element, depending on the sensor type that is connected.
An electronic circuit configuration, comprising:
- an assigned signal conditioning circuit via which at least one rotary speed sensor of a vehicle is connected to an electronic control unit for further signal processing of a rotary speed signal, wherein:
- the signal conditioning circuit includes a switching arrangement for optionally connecting one of an active rotary speed sensor and a passive rotary speed sensor,
- the switching arrangement includes a signal conditioning subcircuit for the active rotary speed sensor and a signal conditioning subcircuit for the passive rotary speed sensor, which are able to be activated using at least one switching element, depending on the sensor type that is connected, and the electronic control unit detects the currently connected sensor type and operates the at least one switching element for the selection of the suitable signal conditioning subcircuit.
