Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) for encoding information between a plurality of normally closed switches (P1 . . . Pn) arranged on an operating lever (2) and a control device (9), said switches being connected in series between a voltage line (3) and a measuring line (5), each switch (Pi) being associated with a single resistor (Ri) connected between the terminal of the switch closest to a voltage source (Vcc) and the measuring line. The encoding device thus allows a hierarchy of the switches to be obtained.
