CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ACTUATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for controlling a plant assembly, in particular a steering system for a nose wheel of an aircraft, includes providing a plant assembly (12) having a first plant (14) including a first sensor (52a) that monitors the first plant. The plant assembly further includes a second plant (16) in communication with the first plant. The second plant includes a second sensor (52b) that monitors the second plant. The method further includes providing a controller (44) that is adapted to control the plant assembly. An outer control loop (62) of the controller receives a setpoint (46) and a feedback signal (56), which is provided by the second sensor. A first control output signal (82) is communicated from the outer control loop to an inner control loop (64) of the controller. The inner control loop receives the first control output signal and a feedback signal (54), which is provided by the first sensor of the first plant. An output signal (50) is provided to the first plant.
