ABSTRACT:
In a method for operating an electronically commutated (EC) motor that has a primary part having a coil and a secondary part having magnet segments, a measuring sequence is determined that has a plurality of measured value combinations, which are a function of the relative position between secondary part and primary part and each of which includes a number of measured values that corresponds to the number of magnetic fields sensors that are used for the determination. The coil is supplied with power as a function of the measured value combinations. The absolute position of the secondary part is determined by positioning of the secondary part at a reference position and by an absolute position value being tracked at each change of the measured value combination starting from a reference position value. For a relative movement between the secondary part and the primary part oriented in a prescribed direction, a reference sequence is determined and stored in memory that comprises a plurality of setpoint value combinations to be cycled through in succession and has a number of setpoint values corresponding to the number of magnetic field sensors. Based on the reference sequence of the measured value combination that occurred at the reference position and the number of changes in the measured value combination that occurred, the setpoint value combination is determined and compared to the measured value combination determined for the relevant absolute position value. When a deviation occurs, a fault condition is detected.
