Patent ID: 11787427

Abstract:
A method for controlling at least one actuator of an actuator system, including: outputting a first control signal from a first control device via a line to an actuator, wherein the actuator system has at least the first control device and a second control device, wherein the first control device is configured to control at least the actuator via the line and wherein the second control device is configured to control the actuator via the line; detecting the first control signal on the line by the second control device and suppressing the output of a second control signal to the actuator by the second control device during a time in which the first control device is outputting the first control signal to the line; determining a time by the second control device at which no first control signal is present on the line; and applying to the actuator a second control signal via the line by the second control device if no first control signal is present on the line. Also described are a related apparatus and a computer readable medium.
