Direction of rotation recognition 

A magnet is fastened to the motor  shaft. The two Hall sensors b1  and b2  react to the rotation of the magnet. When the motor rotates one turn the Hall sensors each output one square wave pulse.

The associated driver-side ESA control module (N32/1) or passenger-side ESA control module (N32/2)  reads in the pulses from the Hall sensors. The chronological offset between the pulses from Hall sensor b1  and pulses from Hall sensor b2  allow the control module to recognize the direction of rotation of the motor.

Position recognition 

The affected control module counts the pulses from the Hall sensors. The value in the position counter is increased or reduced depending on the recognized direction of rotation  of the motor  .
