1. Control sensor for a construction machine for generating height control signals by detecting the relative position of the sensor to a guide cable, wherein:
- the control sensor comprises at least two supersonic sensors, at least one of which serves as a transmitter/receiver element;
the supersonic sensors are connected to an evaluation means which serves to generate the height control signals and a signal of direction which indicates the exceeding of a certain range of width; and
the supersonic sensors are positioned at a right angle to the direction of movement of the construction machine, and are arranged at a distance from the guide cable that detection angles of supersonic sensor cones generated by said supersonic sensors overlap at said distance.

Abstract
A control sensor for a construction machine serves for generating height control signals for the height control of a tool of the construction machine along a guide cable and contains at least two supersonic sensors, one of which at least serves as a transmitter/receiver element, whereby the supersonic sensors are connected to an evaluation means and arranged in a right angle to the construction machine'"'"'s direction of movement and in such a distance to the guide cable that the detection angle of the supersonic cones will lead, at this distance, to their overlapping.
