Abstract

A vacuum treatment system in which a part (9) is provided inside a vacuum treatment chamber (1). A potential (&phgr;9) which deviates from the system reference potential (&phgr;0) by approximately at least ±12 V is applied to said part. A sensor and/or an actuator (11) is/are arranged on said part. In addition, the invention comprises an electronic unit (13) which is connected to the sensor and/or actuator. Processing signals on the unit (13) is considerably simplified in that the electronic unit (13) is operated as a reference potential on the potential (&phgr;9) of said part (9).
