SENSOR ASSEMBLY WITH IDENTIFIER DETERMINATION

Abstract:

A combination assembly comprising a process assembly and a thereto attachable sensor assembly is provided. The process assembly comprises an indicator element and a type identifier. The indicator element is arranged to rotate relative to a reference component and corresponding to a reference axis. The sensor assembly comprises a first sensor adapted to detect a rotational position and/or rotational movement of the indicator element, a second sensor adapted to detect a type identifier, an energy source, and a switch actuatable between an off state and an on state in which an operational cycle is initiated. The first sensor is operated to detect an amount of rotational movement performed by the indicator element, and the second sensor is operated to detect a type identifier. During an operational cycle the first and the second sensor are operated sequentially to prevent that peak draws of resources from the sensors take place concurrently.
