Abstract

A method for determining a direction of magnetization of a Wiegand wire. The method includes applying a test current which increases with time to a sensor coil which surrounds the Wiegand wire, detecting a sensor coil voltage which is present at the sensor coil during the applying of the test current, and comparing the sensor coil voltage which is detected during the applying of the test current with a reference voltage which increases simultaneously with the test current so as to determine the direction of magnetization. The reference voltage increases from a start reference voltage value to an end reference voltage value.

A capacitive rotary angle measuring system for detecting a rotary movement of a shaft includes a sensor unit, a carrier signal generator, an evaluation unit, and a carrier signal adaptation unit. The sensor unit includes a transmitting electrode arrangement and a receiving electrode arrangement which are capacitively coupled together, and a coupling device which co-rotates with the shaft and which varies an electric capacity between the receiving and the transmitting electrode arrangement based on a rotational position of the coupling device. The carrier signal generator is electrically connected to the transmitting electrode arrangement and generates an electrical carrier signal. The evaluation unit is electrically connected to the receiving electrode arrangement and senses an electric measurement signal generated at the receiving electrode arrangement and determines a current rotary angle measurement value. The carrier signal adaptation unit adapts a carrier signal frequency value based on a provided interference frequency value.

According to the invention, in order to initialize the angle-of-rotation measurement system (10), a specified initialization angular position of a rotor unit (18) is set relative to a stator unit (20); a stored actual partial-rotation counter value (Un) is read which indicates a number of (360°/N) partial-rotations of the rotor unit (18) relative to the stator unit (20); an actual sub-segment value (HSn) that indicates in which (360°/N) sub-segment of a full rotation the rotor unit (18) is located relative to the stator unit (20) is determined from the actual partial-rotation counter value (Un); and the stored actual partial-rotation counter value (Un) is increased or reduced if the actual sub-segment value (HSn) does not match a target sub-segment value (HS1-4) assigned to the specified initialization angular position. Thus, an angle-of-rotation measurement system (10) is provided which can be initialized in a reliable and simple manner.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for initializing an angle-of-rotation measurement system (10) and to an angle-of-rotation measurement system (10) having a correspondingly designed initialization unit (36). According to the invention, for initialization after the mounting of a Wiegand-sensor-based angle-of-rotation measurement system (10) at the installation location, an initialization alternating current (IS) is fed into a sensor coil (26) radially surrounding a Wiegand wire (24), the initialization alternating current (IS) having a current direction which alternates over time and a current amplitude (ISA) which drops over time. Possible magnetization of the Wiegand wire (24) can thereby be ideally completely eliminated or at least significantly reduced. This results in a reliable Wiegand-sensor-based angle-of-rotation measurement system (10).

Abstract

A rotation angle measurement system for detecting a rotation of a shaft. The rotation angle measurement system includes the shaft which extends in an axial direction, a rotor unit having a sensor magnet, a stationary stator unit having a multi-turn sensor unit which is arranged radially spaced apart from the shaft and which has a Wiegand sensor, and a magnetic shielding arrangement for the Wiegand sensor. The rotor unit is connected to the shaft to rotate therewith and radially surrounds the shaft. The multi-turn sensor unit functionally interacts with the sensor magnet to detect revolutions thereof. The magnetic shielding arrangement is made from a material having a high magnetic permeability. The magnetic shielding arrangement includes shielding elements which are arranged to surround the Wiegand sensor on a radial inside, on a radial outside, on a first axial side, and on a second axial side thereof.

Abstract

A maintenance system for a gate device includes a controller, at least one temperature sensor, and an evaluation unit. The controller has a motor control unit which actuates a drive apparatus for driving a gate member, and a non-volatile memory which stores gate data. The gate data is retrievable from the non-volatile memory. The at least one temperature sensor is arranged in a region of the drive apparatus. The at least one temperature sensor continuously transmits a detected temperature as further gate data to the non-volatile memory of the controller. The evaluation unit creates a temperature curve for each of the at least one temperature sensor over a preset operating cycle. A comparison of more than one temperature curve allows a conclusion to be drawn of a need for maintenance of the gate device.

Abstract

A method for calibrating a rotary encoder for capturing rotational angle position of a machine shaft. The rotary encoder includes an exciter unit which is rotationally fixed to the machine shaft, and a stationary sensor unit which interacts therewith. The method includes rotating the machine shaft to perform a rotational movement at a predefined rotational speed at a first sensor temperature, capturing a first position measured value at a first predefined rotational angle position at the first sensor temperature, heating or cooling the sensor unit to a second sensor temperature, capturing a second position measured value at the first predefined rotational angle position at the second sensor temperature, determining a first deviation between at least the second position measured value and a first desired position measured value, and correcting an output signal from the rotary encoder via the first deviation.

Abstract

A method for calibrating a rotary encoder for measuring a rotary angle position of a machine shaft. The method includes rotating a machine shaft; measuring a start measuring point with a sensor unit; activating a timer module to measure a time value; measuring an intermediate measuring point with the sensor unit; storing the actual rotary angle position of the intermediate measuring point and the time value associated therewith; measuring an end measuring point with the sensor unit; recording a time value incremented by the timer module which reflects a runtime for a rotary motion of the start to the end measuring point; calculating at least one time-dependent reference rotary angle position; calculating a deviation between the actual rotary angle position measured and the at least one time-dependent reference rotary angle position calculated for at least one time value; and correcting an output signal from the rotary encoder via the deviation.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for length and/or velocity measurement, in particular for positioning tasks, in which an optical sensor carries out a length and/or velocity measurement on a measurement object in a contactless manner, wherein the optical sensor carries out the length and/or velocity measurement via an image processing method, via a spatial frequency filter method and/or by way of a laser Doppler method and reference markings are recognized by the optical sensor, and to a corresponding apparatus. The object of providing a simple method and a simple apparatus for length and/or velocity measurement which offers a higher degree of measurement reliability with the result that it can also be used in safety-relevant areas of application is achieved by evaluation means carrying out reference marking recognition operations and by a plausibility test being carried out, in which a signal is generated as a function of the result of the plausibility test.
