MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621061463 A) filed by General Industrial Controls Private Limited on May 14, 2026, for System For Ratiometric Sensing Of Potentiometric Position In Industrial Control Systems.
Inventors include Kulkarni, Rushikesh Chandrakant; Gautame, Ajinkya Avinash; Mane, Ajaykumar Akaram; and Yadav, Rakeshkumar Yogendra.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A system (400) for sensing positioning of a potentiometer (414) in a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and automation devices or systems is disclosed. The system (400) includes a DC power supply (404) configured to provide a variable Direct Current (DC) supply voltage in a predefined range. The system includes the potentiometer comprising a first terminal configured to the DC power supply (404), a second terminal connected to ground, and a wiper terminal providing a wiper voltage corresponding to a positioning of the potentiometer (414). The system includes a voltage scaling and protection circuitry (406) configured to scale a PLC power supply voltage and the wiper voltage to a predefined level suitable for measurement. The system includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to receive the scaled PLC power supply voltage and the scaled wiper voltage from the voltage scaling and protection circuitry, to generate a representation of the PLC power supply voltage and the wiper voltage.
