Abstract
A rod position indication system is disclosed. The rod position indication system includes first coils and second coils disposed around a drive rod travel housing in an alternating arrangement, a first data encoder unit connected to each of the first coils and configured to generate a first reference signal, a second data encoder unit connected to the each of the second coils and configured to generate a second reference signal, and a processing circuit in signal communication with the first and second data encoder units. The processing circuit is configured to generate a logic comparison of the first and second reference signals, generate a logic signal based on first position data and second position data, and perform a logic operation on the logic signal and a result of the logic comparison.
