A monitoring method and a monitoring device for a motor-driven door, wherein a stationary unit and a monitoring device mounted on the movable door communicate bidirectionally with one another, wherein data and/or signals of at least one door safety sensor are relayed to the stationary unit, and wherein a waking device is automatically wakened cyclically or is wakened by a vibration sensor and wakes the control device, which in turn wakes the transmitter/receiver and actively queries the stationary unit assigned individually to it as to whether the monitoring device must remain active or be switched back to a power-saving idle state.

Monitoring method and stationary unit for a motor-driven door

A position transmitter for determining a position of a rotating shaft, has an AMR sensor unit or a GMR sensor unit which, for determining the position, has only one magnet disposed on a shaft to be monitored, whereby the position transmitter can be used as a single-turn and a multi-turn unit. Furthermore, a method for determining a position of a rotating shaft with the position transmitter is also provided. In accordance with the method, signals are produced using a diametrically magnetized magnet in a sensor unit, so that sine and cosine signals are obtained as output signals of the AMR sensor unit, the sine and cosine signals are digitalized, and these signals are processed by a microcontroller, with regard to the detection and evaluation of the angle of rotation, for detecting, filtering, and evaluating the number of revolutions, for detection of the direction of rotation or for data transmission of the angle of rotation and the number of revolutions to an overriding control.
