Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a sensor network () having sensor nodes () of a technical system (). The method comprises the following steps: deactivating (S) the sensor nodes () of the sensor network (); determining (S) an induction voltage (U) in a coil () of the sensor node () and/or a coil () of the sensor network (), the induction voltage (U) being generated by a magnetic field generated by the technical system (); comparing (S) the determined induction voltage (U) with a reference voltage (U); and activating (S) the sensor nodes () depending on the comparison. The invention further relates to a sensor network () of a technical system ().
