摘要:
A method for indirectly sensing absolute position of a mechanical output device (18) of an electromechanical (EM) system (40) is disclose. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes detecting the location of a reference point (26) established within a defined range of travel of the mechanical output device (18), and tracking a relative position of the mechanical output device (18) through the movement of an electromotive actuator (20) within the EM system (40). The absolute position of the mechanical output device (18) is determined by comparison of the tracked relative position of the mechanical output device (18) to the established reference point (26).
