ok damo. system i know is on hyster vna trucks. i think they have used it for 7 or 8 years. feedback pot on them tells controller when steer wheel is straight and compares it to signal picked up from wire via the aerials. if pot is not set right it the controller fights to keep truck straight and jumps off line. i recon your proximity switch must work the same.

zapi wire guidance is very reliable and accurate when set up correctly. usually let down by feedback pot misalignment and damage to aerials. nothing major.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
