  • Method for localising patterns in a signal of a position sensor, and position sensor or position measuring device using the method
    Publication number: 20240133721
    Abstract: In the method and the device described here for operating an electromagnetic, in particular magnetostrictive, or acoustic position measuring device (10) having at least one position sensor (44), at least one position encoder (20) and a waveguide (14), said position measuring device having a control device for triggering an interrogation pulse in the waveguide (14) and an evaluation unit for evaluating a wave form (400-450) recorded by the position sensor (44), wherein the time between the triggering of the interrogation pulse and the point in time at which the wave form (400-450) recorded by the position sensor (44) is recorded is measured to determine the position of the position encoder (20) via the relationship between distance and time, it is in particular provided that position recognition is implemented by means of the position encoder (20) by localising patterns in the wave form (400-450) recorded by the position sensor (44), wherein the localisation of such patterns is implemented on the basis of corr

  • DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE STATE OF A SAFETY DEVICE ON A MACHINE
    Publication number: 20110127147
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for monitoring the state of a safety device (2) of a machine (4), in particular a safety switch for monitoring the closed state of a safety door or the like, the device (1) having a switch housing (22, 24) and an actuator (8), which, when the safety device (2) is closed, cooperates with a switch actuating element (14) movably mounted in the switch housing (22, 24) and the closed state of the safety device (2) can be signaled thereby, and the device (1) having a locking device by which the closed state of the safety device (2) can be releasably locked, characterized in that by applying excessive force to the actuator (8) against the action of the locking device, the switch actuating element (14) can be brought into a fail-safe position, from which the switch actuating element (14) can no longer be transferred by the actuator (8) into a position in which the device (1) signals the locked state of the safety device (2), and the device (1) signals the unlocked state of the sa
