Abstract
The circuit arrangement comprises at least two movable elements (,to,) which are to be monitored and which are assigned a sensor (,to,) in each case. The output signals of the sensors (,to,) are fed to an evaluation circuit (,) via a common connection. The evaluation circuit (,) has only a single input for receiving the signals of the sensors (,to,). Each sensor (,to,) emits a pulse shape characterizing the connected element. The pulse shapes of the pulses generated by the sensors are configured in such a way that the evaluation circuit can uniquely identify the individual pulses, even in the case of superimposition.
