Method for Controlling a Power-Assisted Steering Apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a power-assisted steering device comprising the steps of:
- providing control information from dynamic control unit;
feeding the control information to the steering device;
providing setpoint value information from a setpoint signal value transmitter;
providing actual value information from the steering device;
feeding the actual value information to the setpoint signal value transmitter;
forming difference value information from the setpoint value information and the actual value information;
feeding the difference value information to the control unit; and
filtering out an information component from the provided actual value information.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling an electrically power-assisted steering device for vehicles including a control unit providing control information to a steering device. The method and apparatus includes a setpoint signal value transmitter providing setpoint value information and obtaining actual value information from the steering device. The actual value information is fed to the setpoint signal value transmitter and a difference value information is obtained from the setpoint value information and actual value information with the difference value information fed to the control unit. A filter unit filters information components from one of the actual value information provided, the actual value information fed to the setpoint signal value transmitter, the setpoint value information or the difference value information.
