Title: Electrical Circuitry for Setting the Position of an Appliance
Inventor: LINK HELMUT
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1984-04-18
Abstract: To position an appliance such as a rescue cage of a turntable ladder, circuitry is used which comprises desired-value and actual-value elements (13 and 14) which are connected in a measuring bridge (10), the desired-value element (13) being connected to the other parts of the circuitry by a lead (11) in a cable (5) also containing leads (1, 2, 3, and 4) which carry potentials other than the measured voltage potential of the desired-value element (13), and means are provided to obviate faulty operation of the control system in the event of cable defects. One way of doing this (Figure 1) consists in restricting the potentials of the supply voltage to the measuring bridge (10) so as to make the extreme value of the measured voltage smaller than the difference between any of the extreme potentials of the measured voltage and any of the other potentials, and in providing a safety cut-off (30) if the value of the measured voltage is greater than its extreme value. A second method (Figure 2) involves isolating the measuring bridge (10) from the other potentials completely, by eliminating direct electrical contact between them. <IMAGE>
