Disclosed is a ball valve comprising a valve housing (2) that includes at least two fluid connection points (12, 14) and a valve ball (26) which is located in the valve housing (2) and which can be rotatingly actuated into switched positions by means of a switching shaft (32), at least part of which engages into the valve housing (2), a fluid connection between fluid connection points (12, 14) being opened or closed via a fluid passage (30) in the valve ball (26) in the switched positions of the valve ball (26). The disclosed ball valve is characterized in that a sensor array (52, 54) identifies each switched position of the valve ball (26) by reading positional information (48, 50) located thereon. |
