`Pinch detection is based on the change in motor speed as detected by Hall effect sensors. Motor speed is
`derived from the time between pulses received from Hall effect sensors, for example see Bates no.
`BROSE-00450247 and BROSE-00450248. Specifically, motor speed is calculated by calling
`DrehzahlUmrechnung function (see wl_perconv.c file).
