Abstract
A position detecting device for detecting a positional relationship between a first component and a second component includes a marking arrangement which is provided on the first component and has an absolute track and an incremental track. The absolute track has a plurality of absolute markings from which a binary absolute code sequence can be read, and the incremental track has a plurality of incremental markings which are associated with the absolute markings and from which an alternating incremental sequence can be read. A sensor arrangement provided on the second component and is configured to scan the absolute markings and the incremental markings. The absolute code sequence is formed from a first and a second De Bruijn sequence of order N which follow one another.
