Ho do Self Adjusters Turn

The self adjusting wheel on the self adjuster what causes it to turn so that it knows where to set itself. There is a plate against the sprocket wheel , is it this that sets the distance?

Thanks in advance Denny B

Just to add a little, it uses a cable from the top hooked on one shoe pivot to pull up the adjuster bar if needed.
