Patent number: 12116052Abstract: Control calculation units of a back system in each actuator operate by a collaborative drive mode in which a torque is output to a motor drive unit by using an information transmitted and received mutually by a communication between the systems in common. Cooperative control calculation units in a reaction force actuator and a turning actuator can operate in cooperation with each other based on the information transmitted and received mutually by a communication between actuators. A communication between adjacent systems and a communication between adjacent actuators are restored, when a focus control calculation unit is restored, after the focus control calculation unit is stopped during operation and at least one of the communication between adjacent systems or the communication between adjacent actuators is interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Takesaki, Hisashi Kameya, Hiroki Tomizawa, Masaharu Yamashita, Kenji Shibata, Yosuke Yamashita, Shintaro Takayama, Toshihiro Takahashi, Yuji Fujita, Kenichi Abe, Yugo Nagashima
