Controller having internal durability test cycle driver

摘要

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is an actuator assembly having a controller integrated into the actuator assembly. The controller includes a memory for storing test cycle data and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor accesses the test cycle data. A communication port is in communication with the processor and in communication with an actuator and a sensor. During a test mode, the processor provides position commands to the actuator and receives a sensor signal from the sensor. The processor detects the presence of faults in response to the sensor signal and stores the faults in the memory.
