Claim Text:
1. A method of determining motion parameters for a rotating machine comprising: detecting a plurality of rotating target passage events; storing a plurality of time values, wherein each time value corresponds to one of the rotating target passage events; determining in a first processing domain a first rotating target passage count time value, a second rotating target passage count time value, and a third rotating target passage count time value based on the stored time values, wherein the first, second, and third rotating target passage count time values comprise a coherent set of values; determining by a motion parameters process executing in a second processing domain a current machine rotational velocity value, a current machine rotational acceleration value, and a current machine rotational jerk value based on the first, second, and third rotating target passage count time values of the coherent set of values, wherein the velocity, acceleration, and jerk values are for use by a motion control process to determine motion control commands.
