Abstract
A steering angle controller which controls an actual value to a desired value, wherein the steering angle controller outputs, as an output signal, an actuating signal for power electronics to control an electric servo motor, wherein the actual value is a steering angle or a measurement variable corresponding to the steering angle and the desired value is a steering angle request or measurement variable request, wherein the steering angle controller is assigned at least one memory which stores at least two different control algorithms.
Claims12
A steering angle controller that controls an actual steering angle value of a transportation vehicle in which the steering angle controller is installed based on a desired steering angle value, the controller comprising:
- at least one memory which stores at least two different control algorithms for steering angle control,
- wherein the steering angle controller outputs an output signal that is an actuating signal for power electronics to control an electric servo motor, wherein the actual steering angle value is a steering angle or a measurement variable corresponding to the actual steering angle and the desired steering angle value is a steering angle request or measurement variable request.
The steering angle controller of 1, wherein the steering angle controller is configured to enable automatic selection of a control algorithm of the at least two different control algorithms based on at least one driving state variable of the transportation vehicle.
A method for controlling steering angle using a steering angle controller, the method comprising:
- controlling an actual steering angle value of a transportation vehicle in which the steering angle controller is installed based on a desired steering angle value,
- wherein the steering angle controller includes at least one memory which stores at least two different control algorithms for steering angle control,
- wherein the steering angle controller outputs an output signal that is an actuating signal for power electronics to control an electric servo motor, and
- wherein the actual steering angle value is a steering angle or a measurement variable corresponding to the actual steering angle and the desired steering angle value is a steering angle request or measurement variable request.
