Abstract:
1. A wireless encoder system for a motor having a first part that is moveable relative a second part of the motor, the encoder system comprising: an encoder sensor moveable with the first part of the motor and operative to sense movement of the first part relative the second part and to provide an encoder signal having an electrical characteristic indicative of the sensed movement; a transmitter moveable with the first part of the motor associated with the encoder sensor, the transmitter being operative to transmit a wireless transmitter signal based on the encoder signal for receipt by a remote receiver, whereby at least one of position and movement of the first part relative the second part is determinable from the wireless transmitter signal; a receiver that accepts a wireless command signal that includes program data; and a processor coupled to and operative to control the transmitter, the processor controls operation of the transmitter based on the program data and the encoder signal.
