Abstract: The invention is directed to an actuation device for a shift-by-wire-actuated speed change gearbox. The actuation device includes an operating lever (2), a position sensor (5) and a device for haptic emulation. The haptic emulation device includes a damping element (3) which is joined (8) on the base (10) of the actuation device, as well as a motor-driven actuator (6). According to the invention, the actuation device is characterized by a spring element (4) which has a known spring rate and is disposed within the operative connection (W) between the operating lever (2), the damping element (3) and the articulated joint (8). The invention enables determination of the position of the operating lever and of the operating force applied to the operating lever by way of the spring element, using only a single position sensor. The haptic of a mechanical operating lever can be completely emulated.
Abstract: An arrangement for measuring values of a voltage applied to an electronic component. The arrangement comprises a first signal transmitter which can emit a first switching signal, a first switch coupled to the first signal transmitter and can be controlled by the first switching signal. The electronic component is connected in series to the first switch and can be coupled, via the same, to an electric energy source. A second signal transmitter, which can emit a second switching signal. A second switch is coupled to the second signal transmitter and can be controlled by the second switching signal. A capacitive accumulator is connected in series to the second switch and can be connected in parallel, via the same, to the electronic component or to the series connection formed by the electronic component and the first switch. An analog/digital converter which is connected in parallel to the capacitive accumulator.
