DISTANCE SENSOR ARRANGEMENT FOR A MAGNET OF THE LEVITATION MAGNET OF A MAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORT SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a distance sensor arrangement 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 arrangement of the aforementioned type, the invention provides that the distance measuring coil of each distance sensor (S1 to S12) is connected to a programmable module for generating an operating frequency. The distance sensor (S1 to S12) contains a location information querying device (30) for querying an installation space-specific location information providing device (32) in the installation space (31). The location information querying device (30) is connected on the input side to the programmable module.
