Electronic and mechanical switches are used for monitoring critical limit values and therefore usually fulfil a safety function. To meet this safety function, switches offer two alternative switching functions, the “hysteresis” and the “window” functions. In …

What is meant by the “window” switching function with electronic pressure switches?
Enrico Bossart | Know-howModern electronic switches often offer a variety of different adjustable switching functions, such as the so-called “window”. When one talks of the “window” switching function, it means the monitoring of a defined measuring range (for example, for the …
What is meant by the switching function “hysteresis” with electronic pressure switches?
Enrico Bossart | Know-howThe hysteresis switching function is generally included for all switch variants, whether mechanical or electronic, and whether for the parameter of pressure, temperature, level or flow. Hysteresis is generally understood to be the difference between the switch point …
Mechanical vs electronic pressure switches: Application areas
Enrico Bossart | Know-howWhen should you choose a mechanical pressure switch and when should you rather decide for an electronic pressure switch? Each switch principle offers advantages, but also has its limitations. Among other things, there are differences in the application areas for …
Mechanical vs. electronic pressure switches: Functionality
Enrico Bossart | Know-howHow do you decide whether to use mechanical pressure switches or electronic pressure switches in your application? Each type of pressure switch has individual advantages, but also its limitations. The main differences in functionality between mechanical and electronic …
