ABSTRACT:
A circuit for indicating the current or existing composite operating states of a plurality of switches switchable between open and closed states, and all normally disposed in a first of those states, includes a resistance of predetermined value for and connected to each switch, and connections between all of the switch-resistance combinations to form a switch assembly which outputs a total resistance uniquely defined in accordance with the particular existing open and closed states of the plural switches. A constant current source supplies a constant current to the switch assembly so that the assembly outputs a voltage in accordance with the unique resistance, and a voltage discriminator receives the voltage output and generates a corresponding output indicative of the existing operating states of the switches.
