Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor signal converter for machine tools and production machines, and also robots, which generates pulsed signals from sensor values transmitted via a drive bus. The sensor signals (GU1, GU2) can be transmitted on the drive bus (AB1-AB4) in real time, can be converted into sensor-compatible pulsed signals by a sensor signal converter (GU1, GU2) in real time and can be sent to other appliances, optionally in real time. The data link (AB1-AB4) having real-time capability which can be used is an Ethernet having real-time capability.
