ACTUATOR CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

An actuator control apparatus including a by-wire control circuit, a monitor circuit, a drive determination section, and a prohibition section is provided. The by-wire control circuit electrically controls an actuator acting as a drive source of an on-board apparatus. The monitor circuit monitors whether or not the by-wire control circuit is normally operating. The monitor circuit is provided separately from the by-wire control circuit. The drive determination section determines prohibition and permission of driving the actuator. The prohibition section prohibits the actuator from being driven when the permission of driving the actuator is not determined by the drive determination section. The prohibition section also prohibits the actuator from being driven when the monitor circuit determines that the by-wire control circuit is not normally operating.

1. An actuator control apparatus comprising:
a by-wire control circuit for electrically controlling an actuator, which is a drive source of an on-board apparatus mounted to a vehicle; a monitor circuit for monitoring whether or not the by-wire control circuit is normally operating, wherein the monitor circuit is provided separately from the by-wire control circuit; a drive determination section for determining prohibition and permission of driving the actuator; and a prohibition section
for prohibiting the actuator from being driven when the permission of driving the actuator is not determined by the drive determination section, andfor prohibiting the actuator from being driven when the monitor circuit determines that the by-wire control circuit is not normally operating.
