Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A high-integrity electromechanical actuator control system includes a system function controller, a plurality of actuator controllers, and at least one electromechanical actuator. Each actuator controller includes a primary channel having a first controller, a second controller, and a duty cycle computation circuit, and includes a backup channel having a backup controller. The first controller receives digital actuator control commands from two functional control channels and supplies first digital duty cycle commands. The second controller receives digital actuator control commands from two functional control channels and supplies second digital duty cycle commands. The duty cycle computation circuit computes an average of the first and second duty cycle commands and generates pulse width modulated (PWM) commutation control signals based on the computed average. The backup controller receives digital actuator control commands from two different functional control channels and generates and supplies backup PWM commutation control signals.
