  • Pressure sensor, valve assembly and method for their operation
    Publication number: 20110301879
    Abstract: A pressure sensor (10) comprises a pressure transducer (12) that generates an electric pressure signal (28) in correlation with an absorbed pressure (p) and a processing unit (23) that generates an electric output signal (S) by means of a mapping rule (35) from the pressure signal (28). A valve assembly (2) contains a pressure sensor (10) that records a pressure (p) in its interior space (11) and emits it as a pressure signal (S). In a method for operating a pressure sensor (10), a pressure transducer (12) generates an electric pressure signal (28) in correlation with an absorbed pressure (p), and a processing unit (23) generates an electric output signal (S) by means of a mapping rule (35) from the pressure signal (28).
