摘要： A control system comprises a controller for controlling an actuator, for instance of an electrically power assisted vehicle steering system. An unstable circuit, such as first and second cascade connected integrators has an input connected to the controller and an output connected to a detector, which signals an error when the output signal of the unstable circuit is outside an acceptable range. During normal operation, the controller supplies a signal to the unstable circuit such that its output signal remains within the acceptable range. The error signal may be used to disable the actuator, for instance so as to remove power assistance from steering system.

摘要： A method of calculating the position of the rotor of a motor (1) in for example an electrical power assisted steering assembly is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of measuring the output shaft (2) (i.e. steering column) position, and scaling the measured value to produce an estimated motor rotor position value. This estimated value will be relative to an arbitrary datum point, and so the method further includes steps of adding an offset value derived from low resolution measurements of rotor position obtained using Hall effect sensors provided on the motor. Offsets for compensating for backlash and (in a second embodiment) compliance can also be included. Thus, the method allows high resolution information from an output shaft sensor (e.g. a torque sensor with a position dependent output) to be combined with the low resolution output from the Hall effect sensors to produce a high resolution rotor position signal. A correction is also made to allow for “staleness” in the Hall effect sensor output when calculating the offsets by monitoring rotor speed.
摘要翻译：公开了一种计算电动机（1）的转子在例如电力辅助转向组件中的位置的方法。该方法包括以下步骤：测量输出轴（2）（即转向柱）的位置，以及缩放测量值以产生估计的电机转子位置值。该估计值将相对于任意基准点，因此该方法还包括以下步骤：添加由使用设置在电动机上的霍尔效应传感器获得的转子位置的低分辨率测量得出的偏移值。用于补偿间隙的偏移和（在第二实施例中）顺从性的偏移也可以包括在内。因此，该方法允许来自输出轴传感器（例如具有与位置相关的输出的扭矩传感器）的高分辨率信息与来自霍尔效应传感器的低分辨率输出组合以产生高分辨率转子位置信号。还通过监视转子速度来计算偏移量时，校正霍尔效应传感器输出中的“陈旧”。

摘要： A circuit is provided for testing a drive stage of an actuator, such as a motor of an EPAS system. A power supply circuit comprises a contact for supplying normal drive stage current and a resistor for supplying reduced drive stage current before the normal current is supplied. A measuring circuit measures a drive stage electrical parameter such as supply voltage and a comparator compares this with an acceptable value. If the measured parameter corresponds to a current through the drive stage which is different from an expected value, a fault is signaled and the contact is prevented from closing.
