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.
