Abstract:
Process for controlling an electric actuator comprising:a control member actuatable by a user so as to govern the powering of the actuator, the process comprising the following steps:a) the movements of the control member are estimated, in terms of direction and amplitude, along a travel thereof between extreme positions of control of the actuator, control for powering the actuator is gauged with each passage to the extreme position of the travel of the control member,b) these movements are analyzed so as to derive therefrom a cue for controlling means for powering the actuator so as to supply to the latter a quantity of current corresponding to the movement of the control member, as determined on the basis of a predetermined correspondence law and of means for aggregating the successive movements of the actuator during its various controls, and updated after each new control thereof, so as to slave the position of the actuator to the position of the control member.
