Abstract
One or more example embodiments relates to a method for controlling a motion of a component of a medical installation, comprising capturing a first position parameter via a first position sensor, the first position sensor being on the component; capturing a second position parameter via a second position sensor, the second position sensor being on the component; determining, by a control unit, a position spacing for the position sensors based on the first position parameter and the second position parameter; and generating a control signal for a drive unit of the component based on the determined position spacing.
Claims18
A method for controlling a motion of a component of a medical installation, the method comprising:
- capturing a first position parameter via a first position sensor, the first position sensor being on the component;
- capturing a second position parameter via a second position sensor, the second position sensor being on the component;
- determining, by a control unit, a position spacing for the position sensors based on the first position parameter and the second position parameter;
- and
- generating a control signal for a drive unit of the component based on the determined position spacing, wherein the component is movable and elastic, and an elastic deformation of the component is caused by an operating force introduced manually by a user,
- wherein the method is carried out repeatedly with a time interval, and
- wherein the determining the positioning includes, subtracting a previously defined offset specific to the component and representing a non-elastic deformability of the component if a sign of the position spacing changes between two iterations of the method.
A system for controlling a motion of a component of a medical installation, the system comprising:
- a first position sensor on the component, the first position sensor configured to capture a first position parameter;
- a second position sensor on the component, the second position sensor configured to capture a second position parameter;
- and
- a control unit configured to,
- determine a position spacing for the first position sensor and the second position sensor a plurality of times with a time interval based on the first position parameter and the second position parameter by subtracting a previously defined offset specific to the component and representing a non-elastic deformability of the component if a sign of the position spacing changes between two iterations of the position spacing being determined, and
- generate a control signal for a drive unit of the component based on the determined position spacing, wherein the component is movable and elastic, and an elastic deformation of the component is caused by an operating force introduced manually by a user.
