Method for operating a planar drive system and planar drive system

A method for operating a planar drive system, the planar drive system comprising:

• at least a stator module and a rotor, the stator module comprising at least a stator assembly having at least a coil arrangement, wherein the coil arrangement is energized and is configured to generate a stator magnetic field above a stator surface due to an energization,
• wherein the stator module comprises at least a magnetic field sensor, and
• wherein the rotor comprises a magnet arrangement and is movable above the stator surface with the aid of an interaction between the stator magnetic field and a rotor magnetic field of the magnet arrangement;
• wherein the rotor is used as an output device,
• wherein an output is provided via a predetermined movement of the rotor, and
• wherein the coil arrangement is energized in such a way that the rotor moves as defined by the predetermined movement.

A method for operating a planar drive system, the planar drive system comprising:

• at least a stator module and a rotor, the stator module comprising at least a stator assembly having at least one coil arrangement, the coil arrangement being energizable and being configured to generate a stator magnetic field above a stator surface due to energization of the coil arrangement,
• wherein the rotor comprises a magnet arrangement and is movable above the stator surface with the aid of an interaction between the stator magnetic field and a rotor magnetic field of the magnet arrangement, and
• wherein the stator module comprises at least a magnetic field sensor, the magnetic field sensor detecting the rotor magnetic field in order to determine the position of the rotor;
• wherein the rotor is used as an input device,
• wherein an input is detected such that an amount of an additional energization of the coil arrangement, which is carried out in order to maintain the position of the rotor to be expected due to the energization of the coil arrangement, is determined and evaluated as an external force and detected over time, and
• wherein the external force is evaluated as an external movement in combination with the respective time duration and is assigned to a predetermined input event.
