Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for sensing a position of a drive unit, in which the position can be sensed by an incremental signal transmitter having a first degree of accuracy which is described by a first travel increment or angle increment, and can be fed to a converter by which the first degree of accuracy of the sensing of the position can be reduced to a second degree of accuracy which is described by a second travel increment or angle increment.
