Potentiometers with self diagnostic capabilities
12 July 2005
Still CP Potentiometer used for position sensing have the highest proportion in accordance of the number of used products. With its special, robust conductive plastic layer and intelligent layouts, The Metallux conductive plastic sensors match the high requirements for reliability.
Arranging sensors as redundant systems or systems with diagnostic possibilities – with no extra costs. In using redundant potentiometer tracks dust in the sensor system can be detected. integrated endresistors detect broken wires or failure in the wiper or wiper force and surge resistors have the function to save the sensor in case of short circuit.
