Abstract
In order to cope with many rotor diameters using a single type of stator portion, two stator portions, each having a built-in signal processing circuit for detecting absolute positions independently, are disposed in opposition at positions which differ from each other with respect to a rotational center of a rotor portion. When one of the stator portions receives a request command RX from an external device, it transmits a detected serial communication signal. The other stator portion receives the transmitted serial communication signal, determines a position detection abnormality, and notifies the abnormality to the external device when a difference between the received absolute position and the absolute position detected by the other stator portion exceeds a deviation previously set for 180 degrees.
