Abstract: A rotational angle sensor system including: a rotatably mounted movement sensor; a sensor that is designed to detect a rotation of the movement sensor, wherein the rotation occurs at a measurement angle interval; an evaluation electronics system designed to receive an analogue signal from the sensor and to digitalise same using an internal resolution, and to emit a digital output signal reporting the rotation detected by the sensor, wherein the resolution of the digital output signal for a measurement angle interval of less than or equal to 360° is the same size as the internal resolution.

Abstract: A displacement sensor comprises a magnetic field source generating a magnetic field and a magnetic field sensor arrangement adapted to contactlessly detect a relative position of the magnetic field source with respect to the magnetic field sensor arrangement. The magnetic field sensor arrangement includes a first magnetic field sensor adapted to generate a first position signal and a second magnetic field sensor adapted to generate a second position signal. Each of the first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor has a magnetic field probe adapted to detect a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field, an evaluation unit for evaluating an output signal of the magnetic field probe, and a communication interface for emitting and receiving a plurality of communication signals. The first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor are connected to each other via a data bus for transmitting the communication signals.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a measured value in a data transmission signal, the method including: introduction of the measured value into the data transmission signal; introduction of error information after said measured value into the data transmission signal, from which information it can be deduced whether the measured value contains an error; and introduction of evaluation information which describes the error information into the data transmission signal after the error information, if the measured value contains an error.

Abstract: A method for transmitting error information in a pulse signal, the signal being designed to transmit measured values from a sensor that are frequency modulated with pulses having a first magnitude to a receiver. The method includes: recognition of an error in the sensor; and introduction of a pulse having a second magnitude which is different from the first magnitude into the pulse signal, in order to indicate the recognized error in the pulse signal.
