Abstract
A device for milking an animal is controlled by a control system connected to sensors for detecting the position of the animal and the position of various components of the device. Each sensor and the control system are coupled via a transducer which is located at a different position from the sensor. Each sensor and the transducer are electrically insulated from one another.
