BINARY SIGNAL DETECTION

摘要

A system and method for identifying a torch assembly associated with a th ermal processing system including a detector (10) that detects a multi-bit b inary signal based on a plurality of open circuits or closed circuits with t he thermal processing system. Each representative binary signal can comprise an individual physical component (21). The system can also include a contro l mechanism (20) in communication with the detector, the control mechanism i dentifying at least one characteristic of the torch assembly based upon the multi-bit binary signal.
