Abstract
A device has a displaceable device part, a drive, which is configured to drive the displaceable device part and to thus induce a movement in the displaceable device part, and a control unit, which is connected to the drive and is configured to control the drive. The device further has a first signal transmitter for determining a position and/or speed of the displaceable device part. The first signal transmitter and/or a first signal evaluation device, which is connected to the signal transmitter, are connected to the control unit such that the control unit receives information from the signal transmitter about the position and/or speed of the displaceable device part during operation of the device and controls the drive on the basis of the information received. A second signal transmitter of the device serves to monitor and/or redundantly determine the position and/or speed of the displaceable device part.
