Abstract
A control device for electronic multi-step gear shifting control of an automatic transmission for motor vehicles functions to shift gears by means of the tip actuation of a selector lever with a shifting journal that can be pivoted from the automatic shift lane into the multi-step shift lane. The control device is configured as a tip shifting module in the form of a compact modular component with a sturdy housing. The tip shifting module serves to secure and hold in place several mechanical modules and electronic modules located therein and convert the mechanical shifting movement of the selector lever imparted on the input side into electric control signals that can be tapped at the output side of the module. A multi-track encoded magnet arranged in the housing of the module together with several Hall sensors ensures a reliable generation of switching signals.
