Abstract
För att avgöra huruvida en resolverkabel är frånkopplad eller bruten tillförs referensspänningar (170, 180, 190) till komparatorterminaler (80, 90, 100, 110) för att förskjuta de spänningar som matats in i komparatorerna (120, 130) utanför störningsområdet. Två mätningar erhålls med förskjutning utförd i motsatta riktningar, och icke-identiska komparatorutvärden anger en frånkopplad kabel.(Figur 1)To determine whether a resolver cable is disconnected or broken, reference voltages (170, 180, 190) are applied to comparator terminals (80, 90, 100, 110) to displace the voltages fed into the comparators (120, 130) outside the interference range. Two measurements are obtained with displacement performed in opposite directions, and non-identical comparator values indicate a disconnected cable. (Figure 1)

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to figure 1, a resolver 10 comprises two resolver signal coils, an x-coil 20 and a y-coil 30, which are excited by a rotating excitation coil (not shown). The resolver signal coils 20, 30 are arranged in 90 degrees angle in relation to the excitation coil such that the phases of the sinus formed voltage amplitudes induced to the resolver signal coils 20, 30 are shifted by 90 degrees during rotation of the excitation coil. The x-coil terminals 40, 50 are connected to x-comparator terminals 80, 90 of an x-comparator 120 which outputs either one or zero as an x- value 140 depending on which one of the x-coil terminals 40, 50 has higher electric potential. The x-value 140 is inputted to a micro controller 160 which is able to determine the sign of the voltage difference between the x- coil terminals 40, 50. The y-coil terminals 60, 70 are connected in a corresponding manner, and consequently the micro controller 160 is able to indicate a quadrant which the excitation coil is facing. By counting the changes of quadrants the position and rotational speed of the resolver 10 can be determined.DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to figure 1, a resolver 10 comprises two resolver signal coils, an x-coil 20 and a y-coil 30, which are excited by a rotating excitation coil (not shown).

If the resolver cable is disconnected or broken, interference from the surroundings causes weak signals to be inputted to the comparators 120, 130. The comparators 120, 130 can normally not distinguish between the interference and the resolver signals because they solely detect the sign of the voltage difference without considering the absolute value of the same. According to the invention the voltages inputted to the comparators 120, 130 are shifted outside of the range of the interference by reference voltages applied 10 15 20 25 30 on the comparator terminals. If the interference has an amplitude of 10 mV, it may be appropriate to shift the voltages by 20 mV in each direction. The shifting is done in positive direction by applying a first reference voltage 170 of 1,25 V in first and third comparator terminals 80, 100 and a second reference voltage 180 of 1,27 V in second and fourth comparator terminals 90, 110, and a first x-value 140 and a first y-value 150 are obtained. The shifting is then done in negative direction by applying the first reference voltage 170 in the first and third comparator terminals 80, 100 and a third reference voltage 190 of 1,23 V in the second and fourth comparator terminals 90, 110, and a second x-value 140 and a second y-value 150 are obtained. Change of the X- or y-values as a result of the voltage shifts indicates that the input signals are close to zero volts. If both the x-coil 20 and the y-coil 30 have input signals close to zero the conclusion is that the resolver 10 is not connected or the cable is broken.If the resolver cable is disconnected or broken, interference from the surroundings causes weak signals to be inputted to the comparators 120, 130.

If both the x-coil 20 and the y-coil 30 have input signals close to zero the conclusion is that the resolver 10 is not connected or the cable is broken.
Referring to figure 2, the excitation signal and the x- and y-coils 20, 30 are dimensioned such that maximum voltage differences induced between the x-coil terminals 40, 50 and the y-coil terminals 60, 70 are appropriate, such as about 1 V. A normal working range of the x- and y-coils can therefore be illustrated by a circumference of a circle 200 which corresponds to an arc tan function of the two voltage differences. If the resolver cable is disconnected or broken, the remaining interference corresponds to the small circle 210. The dotted lines 220 correspond to the shifted voltages, and the thickness of the dotted lines 220 corresponds to a hardware hysteresis at the comparators. The hysteresis is not necessary for the invention and can be omitted. 10 The excitation signal may have any appropriate shape such as a shape of a sinus curve. When the resolver 10 is working in a battery mode the excitation signal preferably consists of short pulses in order to prolong the battery time. Even more preferably the pulses have a relatively low frequency when the resolver 10 is in standstill or in quasi standstill, and the pulses have a relatively high frequency when the resolver 10 is rotating.Referring to figure 2, the excitation signal and the x- and y-coils 20, 30 are dimensioned such that maximum voltage differences induced between the x-coil terminals 40, 50 and the y-coil terminals 60, 70 are appropriate, such as about 1 V.
