Control Method for Moving an Electromechanical Parking Brake - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18249002 Titled 'Control Method for Moving an Electromechanical Parking Brake'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a control method for an electromechanical parking brake. The method involves using an actuator-control unit to move the actuator of the parking brake. A writable, non-volatile memory unit is used to store position data about the current position of the actuator. If there is an error while writing the position data to the memory unit, the actuator will continue to be moved. However, once the error is detected, a synchronization process is initiated independently of the actuator movement. This process ensures that the position data stored in the memory unit accurately represents the actual position of the actuator.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control method for moving an electromechanical parking brake, according to which method an actuator of the parking brake is moved by actuation by means of an actuator-control unit, wherein a writable, non-volatile memory unit is provided in which position data concerning the current actuator position of the actuator is stored so as to be readable and writable, and according to which method, when a write error occurs while writing the position data to the memory unit, the actuation of the actuator for moving said actuator is continued, and, when the write error is detected, a synchronization process is carried out independently of the actuation of the actuator so that, upon completion of this synchronization process, the position data stored in the memory unit correctly represents the actuator position of the actuator.
