Abstract: A measuring cable with spaced measuring stations is laid. The measuring stations each have a sensor whose electrical conductivity depends on an ambient variable such as temperatures light etc., each sensor is provided with a control arrangement which, due to a transmitted signal from a control center, connects its sensor to a constant current source and returns a signal indicative of any voltage change dependent on the variable ambient which signal is measured by the control center. The measuring cable is divided into sections each having a selectable circuit which can be selected individually by the control center. A clock pulse signal is transmitted to all measuring stations but is only active for the cable section which has been selected. In this manner, the cable section can be chosen as desired, the time required for the control center to have access to certain measuring stations is shortened and semiconductor switches can be used because measurements are only made in the steady state.

Abstract: A position sensor for ascertaining the fine position value z of a movable body includes an exciter unit moving therewith and a stationary sensor unit (7) which simultaneously delivers a plurality of output signals jointly describing the fine position value. In a calibration mode there is established a defined relationship between the exciter unit and a calibration unit (31) such that groups of amplitude values can be taken off from said output signals and groups of average values are formed therefrom, which are fed to the calibration unit (31) which converts them into reference values using the calibration fine position values μ(z) and stores same with the associated fine position as an associated values multiplet in a comparative value memory (14). In each measuring mode groups of amplitude are taken off from the output signals from which groups of measuring values are produced by averaging and are fed to a computing unit (10), which forms differences of cross products from the reference values of varying groups of reference values and the current measuring value group and causes said differences to go towards zero to ascertain the current fine position value.
