  • Method for triggering a final control element
    Patent number: 5796230
    Abstract: A method for triggering or controlling a final control element uses a pulse width modulated signal. A sequence of the pulse width modulated signal is fixed by a predetermined time raster. After a predetermined number of standard pulses, one standard pulse is emitted and one long pulse follows that is twice as long as one standard pulse. In this way, seizing of the final control element is reliably prevented.
