The invention relates to a sensor system including a plurality of sensor elements which are designed so that the elements detect at least partially different primary measured values and utilize at least partially different measurement principles, further including a signal processing apparatus, an interface apparatus and a plurality of functional apparatuses. The sensor elements are connected to the signal processing apparatus, which is designed so that it includes at least one of the following signal processing functions each for at least one of the sensor elements and/or the output signals thereof, an error handling, a filtering, a calculation and/or provision of a derived measured value. At least one measured value is derived from at least one primary measured value of one or more sensor elements, and all functional apparatuses are connected to the signal processing apparatus via the interface apparatus and the signal processing apparatus provides the signal processing functions.

Vehicle sensor node

A steering angle sensor system for measuring a steering angle in a motor vehicle. The steering angle sensor system includes a magnetic encoder which is coupled to at least one magnetic field sensor that senses a variation in the steering angle even when the ignition is switched off, and an electronic memory for storing the steering angle variation. The steering angle sensor system also includes at least one magnetic-field-sensitive element which is coupled to the magnetic encoder for detecting the occurrence of steering movements at an early time in order to at least partially activate the steering angle sensor system and/or another system.

Process for operating a hydraulic brake system

A circuit arrangement for a brake system having anti-lock control (ABS) and traction slip control by brake management (BASR) which has an electromotively driven hydraulic pump for the auxiliary pressure supply in the ABS mode and BASR mode, sensors to determine the wheel rotational behavior, and an electronic circuit for analyzing the sensor signals and generating braking pressure control signals. The hydraulic pump, in the BASR mode, is activated by a pulse train (at least temporarily), and the flow rate of the pump is adjusted to the requirements by modulating the pulse train, the requirements being determined by analyzing the traction slip and the instantaneous rotational speed of the hydraulic pump. Pulse patterns in the form of pulse trains with predetermined pulse times and times of pulse break serve to activate the pump.

A variable control threshold (RS) is formed by a circuit configuration for the traction slip control through brake management, with the control threshold being composed of a basic threshold (GS) and a portion derived from the wheel slip acceleration. The wheel slip (VR) is compared to the control threshold to determine a control deviation, i.e. the difference between the control threshold (RS) and the wheel slip (VR). The brake pressure pattern (p), during a traction slip control process is controlled in response to the wheel slip acceleration.
