Abstract: A movable barrier operator includes an absolute position detector which provides a unique value for each position of the barrier along its path of travel. The absolute position detector employs multiple binary serial streams and one multiple clock stream. After the first five cycles of the clock stream, the binary streams can be decoded by a processor to produce an absolute position. Every clock edge produces a new absolute position along the path of travel.

Abstract translation: 可移动屏障操作器包括绝对位置检测器，其为沿着行进路径的屏障的每个位置提供唯一的值。 绝对位置检测器采用多个二进制串行流和一个多个时钟流。 在时钟流的前五个周期之后，二进制流可以被处理器解码以产生绝对位置。 每个时钟沿沿着行进路径产生一个新的绝对位置。
