Abstract

The rail contact has a receiver coil for an alternating the electromagnetic field which is generated by two transmitting coils. A voltage supply device supplies at least one of the two transmitting coils with a voltage that can be freely selected inside a previously established range. The rail contact has a store for a reference signal pattern, and a comparator for the received voltage with the stored voltage pattern. A computer unit controls the voltage supply using the result of the comparison so that the pattern of the received voltage that can be found by a wheel passing through at the receiver coil is as near as possible to the reference signal pattern.
