Abstract
A switching device for operating with different input control voltages, includes a current measurement path connected to the input terminals of the switching device, which has a predetermined electrical resistor and a current sensor connected in series therewith. The current value measured by the current sensor is fed to a control and evaluation device, which determines a voltage value depending on the predetermined electrical resistor and the measured current value and checks whether the determined voltage value can be associated with a predetermined input control voltage value from a plurality of stored predetermined input control voltage values. If so, the switch-on and switch-off threshold voltage values associated with this input control voltage value are made available to the control and evaluation device for further operation of the switching device.
