Latest Patents
Horst Punzmann holds a patent for a diagnostic device designed to detect short circuits or line interruptions in an inductive sensor. The invention features a symmetrical voltage divider, with a tap supplied with a reference voltage via a resistor, connected between the terminals of an inductive sensor. A diagnostic voltage is applied to the tap, and using evaluation devices, this voltage is compared with two threshold values in a stationary state. During the operational state, the diagnostic voltage is sampled, and a difference is calculated from the largest and smallest sampled values, which is then compared with a third threshold value. This innovative method allows for the detection of short circuits or line interruptions, which are subsequently displayed.
