Measurement sensor, a measuring device associated with and application to a power steering device of the vehicle.

摘要

The invention relates to a sensor and a measurement device associated with the said sensor. It also relates to an application to power-assisted vehicle steering. The sensor of the invention includes two means for generating a first representation of the signal which represents the parameter measured using a pulse-width modulator 34 as well as an amplifier circuit 37 which produces an analogue value which constitutes a second representation of the measurement signal of the sensor. In addition, the sensor includes an output 44 for monitoring the state of the supply of the sensor. The three signals are utilized by an associated measurement device which detects possible malfunctions of the sensor. Application to vehicle power-assisted steering. IMAGE
