Automatic determination of the control unit parameters of an arrangement to control an actuator for the adjustment of an adjustable element of an agricultural machine

An arrangement for the control of an actuator for the adjustment of

• a harvester header,
• comprising:
• a control unit to produce adjustment signals for a valve for the harvester header to move the harvester header to a nominal position;
• a control arrangement of the actuator,
• coupled with the harvester header,
• the actuator to receive the adjustment signals of the control unit;
• a determination device to provide at least one controller gain parameter (0),
• the at least one controller gain parameter determined from
• vibration characteristics of the system consisting of
• the harvester header and the work machine;
• wherein the determination device is to automatically determine the at least one controller gain parameter (0)
• at successive points M time in response to
• movement of the harvester header towards different nominal positions at the successive points in time and to
• send the at least one controller gain parameter ($)
• to the control unit and
• wherein the control unit outputs the adjustment signals based upon the at least one controller gain parameter (0).
