Direction recognition 

The two Hall sensors b1  and b2  are located at the shaft of the motor  in the power window. They react to movements of the magnet. The Hall sensors supply one square-wave pulse for each rotation of the motor.

The corresponding door control module (N69/1) or (N69/2), (MODELS 202/210 also N69/3 or N69/4),  inputs the pulses from the Hall sensors. From the time difference between the pulses from Hall sensor b1  and the pulses from Hall sensor b2  the door control module  determines the motor's direction of rotation.

Position recognition 

The corresponding door control module  counts the pulses from the Hall sensors as a function of the determined rotational direction  of the motor in the power window. The value in the position counter is increased when the window closes. In the other direction, the value in the position counter is reduced when the window opens. The zero position is defined as the upper lock-up point  , i.e. when the window is completely open the counter should be at zero. The zero position is set by the normalization  function. If the zero position is exceeded in the open direction, the count becomes negative.
