Abstract
A position transducer is connected to merely one input circuit. The outputs of the input circuit are connected, transmitted or routed, in part, to a first and to a second counter circuit. For the counting process, the first counter circuit uses the digital signals of the input circuit, while the second counter circuit generates digital signals from the analog signals and uses them for the counting process. It is, thus, possible, in spite of a not fully two-channel processing of the signals of a position transducer, to set up a reliable position monitoring using only one position transducer.
