Abstract

A displacement sensor comprises a magnetic field source generating a magnetic field and a magnetic field sensor arrangement adapted to contactlessly detect a relative position of the magnetic field source with respect to the magnetic field sensor arrangement. The magnetic field sensor arrangement includes a first magnetic field sensor adapted to generate a first position signal and a second magnetic field sensor adapted to generate a second position signal. Each of the first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor has a magnetic field probe adapted to detect a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field, an evaluation unit for evaluating an output signal of the magnetic field probe, and a communication interface for emitting and receiving a plurality of communication signals. The first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor are connected to each other via a data bus for transmitting the communication signals.
