Switching device and sensor in a circuit with improved detection of switching state

摘要

A switching device including at least one sensor for detection purposes which can be switched between at least two switching states depending on the detection. In order to enable improved detection of the switching states, a switching unit is provided, the switching unit and the at least one sensor each having a communication unit for communicating with one another, and it being possible for the switching unit to be switched depending on the at least one sensor.

1. A switching device comprising at least two sensors for detection purposes, which can be switched between at least two switching states as a function of detection, and a switching unit, wherein the switching unit and the at least two sensors each comprise a communication unit for communicating with one another and the switching unit can be switched as a function of the at least two sensors, wherein the sensors and the switching unit are connected in series and the communication units of the sensors are configured to modulate the internal resistance of the sensor for the transmission of information, so that each sensor communicates individually with the switching unit and transmits or exchanges information.
