ABSTRACT:
A sensor for measuring the position of an actuating element has at least one position sensor to detect the position at a drive connection, a circuitry connected to the position sensor, and configured to receive signals from the position sensor, a voltage- and signal-carrying line connecting the circuitry and the position sensor, at least one current measuring device connected in the circuitry to the voltage- and signal-carrying line, and an operating voltage source arranged in a circuit formed by the voltage- and signal-carrying line, the at least one position sensor and the at least one current measuring device. A change in current is transmitted, via the voltage- and signal-carrying line via the signals from the at least one position sensor as a function of the position of the actuating element.
