Abstract
A device for counting the number of rotations of an object in a system, in which a storage means carries counting data designed to represent the number of rotations counted. The counting data is used for conditionally resetting the storage means if and only if two separate conditions are fulfilled, where at least of one of the conditions is the reception of information from an external device, thereby insuring that the counting data represents the number of rotations counted from a predetermined time.
Claims12
An electronic device for counting the number of rotations of an object in a frame of reference, the device comprising:
- storage means for holding counting information intended to represent the number of rotations counted at any time;
- and
- means for conditional resetting of the storage means adapted to reset the storage means if and only if at least two separate conditions are satisfied, wherein at least one of the conditions comprises the reception of information contained in an electromagnetic signal emitted from an external device.
