Abstract
A sensor for measurement of a desired variable of a medium includes a sensor having at least two measured value pick-ups and at least two processing units within a sensor housing. The measured value pick-up is defined as a part of the sensor which directly responds to a measured variable to be detected. Each measured value pick-up may be connected via a signal line to each processing unit so that the signal value representing the measured value can be transferred to the processing unit. The at least two measured value pick-ups pick up at least two measured values independently of one another and transfer them to their connected processing units. With this arrangement, the effective actual values of the measurement value to be checked is applied to both measured value picks-ups without time delay.
