Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for determining a rotation variable, particularly a rotational speed (n), a rotational angle position (ϑ, ϑ1) or a direction of rotation (α+,α-) of a shaft (17), particularly a crankshaft (17') of an internal combustion engine (112), which is coupled to an electrical machine (30) in a direct or geared manner, said electrical machine comprising a rotor (32) and a stator (33) with at least two phase windings (U, V, W), from each of which at least one phase signal (Uu, Uv, Uw, lu, lv, lw) is derived, wherein the phase signals (Uu, Uv, Uw, lu, lv, lw) each have rising edges (Flu u, Flv u, Flw u), falling edges (Flud, Flvd, Flwd) and/or zero crossings (Fluo, Flvo, Flwo), a sum signal (Usum) comprising a plurality of phase signals (Uu, Uv, Uw, lu, lv, lw) of the electrical machine (30) is produced such that a characteristic pulse (Pf1, Pf2, Pf3, Pr1, Pr2, Pr3) in the sum signal (Usum) is associated with each of the rising edges (Fluu, Flvu, Flwu), falling edges (Flud, Flvd, Flwd) and/or zero crossings (Fluo, Flvo, Flwo), and the pulses (Pf1, Pf2, Pf3, Pr1, Pr2, Pr3) being used to determine the the rotational speed (n), the rotational angle position (ϑ, ϑ1) or the direction of rotation (α+,α-) of the rotor (32). The invention also relates to a device for producing a sum signal (Usum) from a plurality of phase signals (Uu, Uv, Uw, lu, lv, lw), which is used to determine a rotational speed (n) of a shaft (17). The invention further relates to a corresponding arithmetic unit designed to carry out the method and to a computer program for carrying out the method.
