For determination of the position of a movable component with a plurality of position magnets relative to a stationary component with a plurality of position sensors, it is provided that the sensor responses are detected for a group of position sensors in the region of the movable component, sensor model responses of the group of position sensors are determined from a sensor model for a plurality of assumed different relative positions of the movable component relative to the stationary component, the sensor model responses are compared with the sensor responses and the assumed relative position with the smallest deviation between the sensor model responses and the sensor responses is used as the relative position of the movable component.

Determining the position of a movable component relative to a stationary component

In order to improve control of a long-stator linear motor, a first measured value is ascertained in a first measurement section and a second measured value is ascertained in a second measurement section, in each case along a transport path in a movement direction. The first measurement section overlaps, in the movement direction, the second measurement section in an overlap region, and the first measured value and the second measured value represent the same actual value of a physical quantity. An operating parameter of the long-stator linear motor determined based on a deviation occurring between the first measured value and the second measured value.
