Active vibration control systems and methods for vehicles

Abstract

Active vibration control systems (100) and methods are provided herein. Systems (100) are expandable and include a plurality of vibration control devices (110) and at least a first controller (102) digitally linked with a second controller (104) via an interface (108). The first and the second controllers exchange information for generation of a force control command (FCC) either the first or second controller. The FCC is then executed at a first vibration control device (110) of the plurality of vibration control devices (FG) for providing active vibration control within a vehicle. A method of providing vibration control in a vehicle includes providing a plurality of active vibration control devices (100) and providing at least a first controller (102) digitally linked with a second controller (104). The method further includes generating a FCC using information exchanged between the first and the second controllers. The method further includes sending the FCC to a first vibration control device (110) of the plurality of devices (FG).
