Abstract
A steering control system is connectable to a motor configured to control a steering and a LAN (Local Area Network) and is allowed to receive a control signal for controlling said motor from the LAN is received. The steering control system includes: a motor configured to control a steering; a main calculation unit connectable to the LAN; a motor drive circuit connected to the main calculation unit and configured to drive the motor; a sub calculation unit connectable to the LAN; and a motor drive limiting unit connected to the sub calculation unit and configured to limit a drive of the motor.
Claims15
A steering control system that is connectable to a motor configured to control a steering and a LAN (Local Area Network) and is allowed to receive a control signal for controlling the motor from the LAN is received, said steering control system comprising:
- a main calculation unit that is directly connectable to the LAN via a LAN transceiver;
- a motor drive circuit that is directly connected to the main calculation unit and configured to drive the motor;
- a sub calculation unit that is directly connectable to the LAN via a LAN transceiver;
- and
- a motor drive limiting unit that is directly connected to the sub calculation unit and the motor drive circuit, wherein the motor drive limiting unit is configured to limit a drive of the motor.
