  • System for interfacing a single sensor unit with multiple data processing modules
    Patent number: 5143452
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant system for interfacing a single sensor unit to multiple display/control modules. The system includes a fixed resistor connected in series with the sensor unit and multiple data centralization units each including a source for providing a separate excitation signal to the sensor unit. The data centralization units also include detection circuits for measuring the voltage drop across the fixed resistor. The output from the sensor unit is adjusted according to the level of excitation provided to the sensor unit so that accurate measurements can be taken despite one or more data centralization units being non-operational.
