Abstract
An angular position/position encoder is provided for determining the position of a moving part through evaluation of the direction-specific changes in the measured values recorded and for serial output in binary form of the position determined in this way, wherein all changes in measured values are also added together, independent of the direction of movement, and then output as the result of the total distance or angle traveled.

5. A position encoder for determining an angle or position and a total angle or distance moved by a moving part, comprising:
-
an encoder outputting a pulse when there is a movement of the moving part;
a directional counter counting the pulses output by said encoder taking into account a direction of movement of the moving part, thereby determining an angle or position of the moving part; and
a non-directional counter counting the pulse output by said encoder irrespective of the direction of movement of the moving part, thereby determining a total angle or distance moved by the moving part. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
