Abstract: A method for detecting the position of a rotor element on the basis of a sensor signal of a sensor unit in order to detect a first angular position of the rotor element. The angular position relating to a repeating sub-section of a rotation of the rotor element within a rotational range. A computer program product and a sensor device are also provided.

Abstract: A sensor system and method for activating the sensor system for transmitting at least one item of first sensor information from a first sensor channel to a first central processing unit and at least one item of second sensor information from a second sensor channel to a second central processing unit. At least one first quality value is determined relating to the functional quality of the first sensor channel at a first control unit on the basis of the first sensor information via the first central processing unit. At least one second quality value is determined relating to the functional quality of the second sensor channel at a second control unit on the basis of the second sensor information via the second central processing unit. A comparison is performed of the first quality value and the second quality value. The sensor system is activated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A device for contactlessly determining a position of a pedal in a vehicle, having at least a magnet and a sensor, wherein the magnet produces a magnetic field that varies with the position of the pedal and detected by the sensor. The sensor has an output for providing at least one sensor signal. A first and a second position range are defined, wherein each position range includes positions of the magnet with respect to the sensor. The processor generates an output signal from the at least one sensor signal. The output signal takes on values that are unambiguously associated with a position of the magnet relative to the sensor in the first position range, and takes on a constant value that is independent of the position of the magnet relative to the sensor in the second position range.
