Abstract
A system including a system controller configured to transmit a first amount of commands in order to produce a desired effect by a group of actuators acting in combination. A system controller configured to control a group of at least two actuators in order to produce at least one combined effect, wherein the number of actuators is greater than or equal to the number of effects. A system controller configures to independent and variable bandwidths or responses of the desired effects produced by the actuators acting in combination.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a system controller configured to transmit an m number of commands in order to produce m number of effects on a group of n actuators acting in combination;
- and
- an controller configured to control the group of n actuators in order to produce at least one combined effect, wherein n number of actuators is greater than or equal to the m number of effects.
A method comprising the steps of:
- commanding an actuator controller to initiate a desired actuation combined effect by a computer;
- controlling by the actuator controller a number of actuators in order achieve a combined effect on the vehicle;
- computing by a actuator controller a plurality of commands for a combination of actuators;
- computing by the actuator controller a series of bandwidths for the plurality of commands;
- apportioning by the actuator controller necessary effects of each of the actuators and necessary bandwidths for responses;
- and
- controlling the actuators according to the desired bandwidths.
