CONTROL SYSTEM HAVING VARIABLE GAIN FEED FORWARD (VGFF) CONTROL
First Claim
1. A system (100) for controlling a plurality of actuators (122), the system (100) comprising:
- at least one device (120) for operating the plurality of actuators (122);
at least one processor in communication with the at least one device (120); and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing data comprising program code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the system (100) to;
receive as input a profile number (164) indicating a specific test being performed by the system (100) and a profile row (166) indicating a load exerted by the plurality of actuators;
select a predetermined gain output (170) based on the profile number (164) and the profile row (166) from a gain array (168), wherein the gain array (168) is a matrix containing a plurality of gain values (566), and wherein the predetermined gain output (170) is selected based on the profile number (164) and the profile row (166); and
determine a control value (118) based in part by the predetermined gain output (170), wherein the control value (118) instructs the at least one device (120) to move the plurality of actuators (122) to a required load.

Abstract
A system for controlling a plurality of actuators is disclosed. The system includes at least one device for operating the plurality of actuators, at least one processor in communication with the device, and a memory coupled the processor. The memory stores data comprising program code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the system to receive as input a profile number indicating a specific test being performed by the system and a profile row indicating a load exerted by the plurality of actuators. The system is further caused to select a predetermined gain output based on the profile number and the profile row from a gain array. The gain array is a matrix containing a plurality of gain values, and the predetermined gain output is selected based on the profile number and the profile row. The system is further caused to determine a control value.

13. A method for controlling a plurality of actuators (122) by a system (100) including at least one device (120), the method comprising:
-
receiving as input, by a computer, a profile number (164) indicating a specific test being performed by the system (100) and a profile row (166) indicating a load exerted by the plurality of actuators; selecting a predetermined gain output (170) by the computer based on the profile number (164) and the profile row (166) from a gain array (168), wherein the gain array (168) is a matrix containing a plurality of gain values (566), and wherein the predetermined gain output (170) is selected based on the profile number (164) and the profile row (166); and determining, by the computer, a control value (118) based in part by the predetermined gain output (170), wherein the control value (118) instructs the at least one device (120) to move the plurality of actuators (122) to a required load. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
