Abstract
A method for providing electrical energy to an actuator is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes having a first voltage (UBUS) from a data bus; ii) converting the electric current to a current having a second voltage that is higher than the first voltage; iii) storing electrical energy of the second electric current; and discharging the stored electrical energy to an actuator. A device is also disclosed for providing electrical energy to an actuator.
Claims18
A device for providing electrical energy to an actuator, comprising:
- connection unit to receive a first electric current from a data bus, the first electric current having a first voltage;
- and
- transformer unit to convert said first electric current to a second electric current having a second voltage that is relatively higher than said first voltage;
- storing unit to store electrical energy of said second electric current;
- and
- discharging unit to discharge electrical energy stored in said storing unit to an actuator.
