Method Of Controlling Industrial Actuator, Control System, And Industrial Actuator System

A control system for controlling an industrial actuator, the control system comprising at least one data processing device and at least one memory having a computer program stored thereon, the at least one computer program including program code which, when executed by the at least one data processing device causes the at least one data processing device to perform the method steps of:

• receiving a manual input in the form of a displacement of an input element, the input element being movable in each of a first input direction and a second input direction from a neutral position;
• in response to the manual snout being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in the first input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a forward direction along a programmed movement path end with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from the neutral position;
• and
• in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position m the second input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a backward direction along the movement Path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from the neutral position.

An industrial actuator system comprising a control system:

• at least one data processing device and at least one memory having a computer program stored thereon, the at least one computer program including program code which when executed by the at least one data processing device causes the at least one data processing device to perform the method steps of:
• receiving a manual input in the form of a displacement of an input element, the input element being movable in each of a first input direction and a second input direction from a neutral position;
• in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position m the first input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a forward direction along a programmed movement Path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or 3 speed of the displacement from the neutral position;
• in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in the second input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a backward direction along the movement Path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from the neutral position;
• and an industrial actuator.
