Zusammenfassung:A position determining unit is provided that has a number of sensor units arranged at positions along a path, and a transducer. Each sensor unit has a carrier, a first and second supply voltage connection, a switching output, a measuring unit and a bias magnet comprising two poles. The measuring unit is arranged on the carrier and has at least one magnetic field sensor, wherein the switching output is switched into an On or Off-state as a function of a threshold value exceeding or falling short of a sensor signal. The first supply voltage connection of each sensor unit is connected to a supply voltage, wherein a first sensor unit is arranged at a beginning of the path and a last sensor unit is arranged at the end of the path. The second supply voltage connection of the first sensor unit is connected to a reference potential.
