Identification of direction of rotation

The wheel electronics have a combined acceleration sensor to detect swivel motion and direction of rotation. This identification takes place in the starting process or during driving. When swivel motion is detected, a message is sent. In this message, an additional item of information is present via which the direction of rotation is communicated to the RDC control unit. The result of identification for the direction of rotation can assume the following statuses:

• Standstill
• Clockwise direction
• Counterclockwise direction
• unknown
