Patent ID: 8330451

Claim:
An inductive sensor system ( 1 ) for measuring low range rotational speeds and high range rotational speeds, the inductive sensor system comprising: a sensor unit ( 3 ) having a transmitter inductor ( 7 ) and receiver for transmitting rotational speed signals, a pulse generator ( 2 ) being positioned adjacent the sensor unit ( 3 ), the transmitter inductor ( 7 ) being connected with an oscillator ( 10 ), and the receiver comprising two receiver inductors ( 8 , 9 ), each of the two receiver inductors ( 8 , 9 ) forwarding the rotational speed signals, via a respective first signal path ( 5 a ), to a respective low rotational speed processing unit ( 4 a ) and, via a second signal path ( 5 b ), to a respective high rotational speed processing unit ( 4 b ); a logic device ( 6 ) communicating with and receiving processed rotational speed signals from both of the low rotational speed processing units ( 4 a ) and both of the high rotational speed processing units ( 4 b ), the logic device ( 6 ) forwarding an output parameter to an interface ( 11 ).
