Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0680153A2] The operating device has a front plate (1) incorporating one or more operating elements (4,5,6), for operating one or more components, with an applied interchangeable front foil (10). This is provided with a coding, cooperating with a code data recognition system (8), feeding the code data to an intelligent control device (9), determining the specific function of each operating element. Pref. the code data recognition system uses a number of reflection light barriers, directed onto code strips applied to the front foil, the intelligent control device using a microprocessor for initiating a number of different switch programmes dependent on the supplied code data. <IMAGE>
