Abstract

A circuit arrangement for controlling the action of an adjusting device, in particular of a patient chair, which comprises, as target value indicator, a digital-analog converter (1) and, as actual value indicator controllable by the adjusting device, a potentiometer (2), which receives an equalized feed voltage which serves to operate the digital-analog converter, and which is connected via a branch (13) to a comparator unit (12), whose other input is connected to output (8) of the digital-analog converter (1), and which controls the adjusting device (31, 32, 33). According to this circuit design, the digital-analog converter (1), and the potentiometer (2), form a Wheatstone bridge of which one diagonal is supplied with a single feed voltage, while the other diagonal contains the comparator unit (12).
