Distance Sensor Arrangement for a Magnet of the Levitation Magnet of a Magnetic Levitation Transport System

摘要

A distance sensor configuration for a magnet of the levitation magnet of a magnetic levitation transport system equipped with a number of distance sensors. Each distance sensor has a distance measuring coil acted upon by an operating frequency and can be placed in an installation space on the magnet. In order to obtain reliable distance measurement values by using a distance sensor configuration of the aforementioned type, the distance measuring coil of each distance sensor is connected to a programmable module for generating an operating frequency. The distance sensor contains a location information querying device for querying an installation space-specific location information providing device in the installation space. The location information querying device is connected on the input side to the programmable module.
