A rotational angle sensor system including: a rotatably mounted movement sensor; a sensor that is designed to detect a rotation of the movement sensor, wherein the rotation occurs at a measurement angle interval; an evaluation electronics system designed to receive an analogue signal from the sensor and to digitalise same using an internal resolution, and to emit a digital output signal reporting the rotation detected by the sensor, wherein the resolution of the digital output signal for a measurement angle interval of less than or equal to 360&#xb0; is the same size as the internal resolution.

Rotation angle sensor system with variable measurement angle range

A method for transmitting a measured value in a data transmission signal, the method including: introduction of the measured value into the data transmission signal; introduction of error information after said measured value into the data transmission signal, from which information it can be deduced whether the measured value contains an error; and introduction of evaluation information which describes the error information into the data transmission signal after the error information, if the measured value contains an error.

Method for monitoring a transmission link

A method for transmitting error information in a pulse signal, the signal being designed to transmit measured values from a sensor that are frequency modulated with pulses having a first magnitude to a receiver. The method includes: recognition of an error in the sensor; and introduction of a pulse having a second magnitude which is different from the first magnitude into the pulse signal, in order to indicate the recognized error in the pulse signal.

Error transmission in two-level rotational speed sensor

Sensor () and method for the detection of the movement of an encoder to be monitored with at least two sensor elements (), which are arranged in a way offset relative to each other in the direction of movement of the encoder, and with a processing circuit (), which converts the element output signals (S, S) at the outlets of the sensor element () to a sensor output signal (S) that describes the movement of the encoder, with the processing circuit () including a test circuit (), which monitors the element output signals (S, S) at least indirectly and disables or corrects the sensor output signal (S) when errors of the element output signals () are detected.
