Method for controlling electrical actuator by electronic control unit, involves arranging electronic control unit and actuator in separate housings, where both are connected by electric connecting cable

摘要

The method involves arranging an electronic control unit (100) and an actuator (200) in separate housings (101,201), where both are connected by an electric connecting cable (104). An evaluating signal (300) is carried out on the side of the actuator, where the signal evaluation analyses an electrical signal of the connecting cable. A validity evaluation is performed after the analysis of the signal. An independent claim is included for an auxiliary and power steering system with an actuator.
