<p>Selenoid driving system for electronically actuating in a predetermined sequence a plurality of solenoid coils (54), said driving system including: a single booster circuit (22) having an inductor (116) for receiving energy from a power supply and a capacitor (110) for storing a portion of this electrical energy prior to activation of a particular solenoid coil (54); a circuitry (40) associated with each solenoid coil (54) for energizing said solenoid coil (54) by causing the capacitor (110) to discharge therethrough and to regenerate the stored voltage potential prior to the time for energizing another solenoid coil (54); and a current regulator and mode control circuit (150, 170) to control the magnitude of current flowing through each solenoid coil (54). </p> |
