For operation of the inductive limit switch, the corresponding switching amplifier (see sec- tion 5.16.2) must be connected to the output circuit. When the tag (1) is located in the inductive field of the switch, the switch assumes a high re- sistance. When it moves outside the field, the switch assumes a low resistance. Normally, the limit switch is adjusted in such a way that it will provide a signal in both end positions of the valve.
