  • Master controller
    Patent number: 6329912
    Abstract: In addition to two rotation angle sensors which output a signal corresponding to each notch position representing “power”, “neutral” and “brake” and are interlocked to rotation of a handle of the master controller, a position sensor for detecting the “neutral” position is provided separately. When the handle is set to the “neutral” position, it is determined whether the rotation angle sensor detects the “neutral” position or not based on the output of the position sensor, and an output of the rotation angle sensor which does not detect the “neutral” position is released.
