Abstract
A position-sensing method and device for sensing the installation location (F, . . . , Fi) of slave units (SE, . . . , SEi) in an operating region (A, . . . , Ai) of a system (A) comprising a number i of adjacent operating regions (A, . . . , Ai) each having a slave unit, wherein the individual slave units (SE, SEi) have a changeable operating function for achieving or changing the physical state in the operating region in question of the system, and wherein a respective sensor (S, . . . , Si) is provided in each operating region in question in order to sense a measurement variable (T) proportional to the physical state in the operating region in question and an evaluating device is provided in order to determine, upon the activation or changing of the operating function of at least one slave unit (SE, . . . , SEi), the installation location (F, . . . , Fi) of said slave unit from the change in the measurement variables (T) over time.
