摘要:
An arrangement for sensing the rotational speeds of a wheel or any other rotating member includes a sensor module with a sensor element, a controllable current source with a modulator and a signal conditioning and evaluating circuit. The modulator controls the current source in response to the signals of the sensor element and/or external signals and, as an output signal of the sensor module, delivers a current signal representative of the rotational behavior with status or additional signals superposed on the current signal. The evaluating circuit of the sensor module includes at least two different signal-conditioning networks which, by way of a control network, in dependence on predetermined criteria or conditions, are connected between the sensor element and the modulator controlling the current source and take care of signal conditioning. The shift from one signal-conditioning network to another occurs in response to control signals which the control network derives automatically from the control of one of these networks, or in response to control signals which are sent to the control network by a signal-receiving external circuit outside the sensor module via the same signal line.

In normal operation, a sensor element emits information only as to whether two or more field-sensitive components are located in peripheral zones of identical or different electromagnetic field strengths of a pulse generator. In order to permit sensor elements of this type determining immediately upon activation of a supply voltage whether an identical electromagnetic field strength on both components corresponds to a zone of low (L) or high (H) field strength, according to the present invention, the sensor element, upon activation of the supply voltage, is initially operated so that the absolute field strength is measured for a given time. If there is a difference circuit between two field-sensitive components (3, 4), the measurement is carried out because one of the components is temporarily switched off, both components are connected in parallel, or both components are connected in series.

The present invention provides an arrangement for detecting and evaluating yawing movements of an automotive vehicle, serving as an input quantity of an automotive control system, comprising yaw rate sensors (GRS) and electronic circuits (SCU) for processing and evaluating the information obtained by the yaw rate sensors (GRS) and representing the yawing movement of the automotive vehicle, and for generating control signals. Moreover, one or more electronic compass systems (KB, KH) are provided that detect yawing movements of the vehicle independently of the information obtained by the yaw rate sensors (GRS). By comparing the information supplied by the compass systems (KB, KH) to the information supplied by the yaw rate sensors (GRS), the operation of the measuring systems or measuring channels (KB, KH, GRS) is monitored.
摘要:
In so-called active sensors which transmit an output signal to an electronic controller, the amplitude of the output signal depending neither on the speed of the encoder nor on the distance between the sensor and the encoder, the problem is that the output signal does not permit identifying whether the air slot size set between the sensor and the encoder is chosen sufficiently small to ensure an appropriate amplitude of the input signal, generated in the sensor, even when dynamic increases in the air slot occur. If the input signal induced by the encoder in the sensor is too low, a sensor-inherent hysteresis threshold is not exceeded, and no output signal is generated. To prevent the sensor from being inadvertently operated at the limits of its maximum permissible air slot, according to the present invention, the sensor-inherent hysteresis threshold is changed over to the higher hysteresis threshold for testing purposes. If a sufficient input signal is generated even by way of this higher hysteresis, it may be supposed that the sensor is correctly mounted.
