Abstract
A planar drive system comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator comprises a plurality of energizable stator conductors. The rotor comprises a magnet device having at least one rotor magnet. A magnetic interaction can be produced between energized stator conductors of the stator and the magnet device in order to drive the rotor. The stator is configured to carry out energization of the stator conductors so that an alternating magnetic field can be generated via the energized stator conductors. The rotor comprises at least one rotor coil in which an alternating voltage can be induced due to the alternating magnetic field. The planar drive system is configured to transmit data from the rotor to the stator, and the rotor is configured to temporarily load the at least one rotor coil to temporarily cause increased current consumption of the energized stator conductors of the stator.
