Abstract: A system for monitoring an electrohydraulic servo valve may comprise a brake control unit, a valve monitoring sensor configured to measure a pressure in a conduit fluidly connected to a control port of the electrohydraulic servo valve, and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the brake control unit. The brake control unit may be configured to receive a brake command, output a pressure signal to the electrohydraulic servo valve based on the brake command, receive a sensor signal from the valve monitoring sensor, and determine a health of the electrohydraulic servo valve based on the sensor signal.

Abstract: An electromechanical brake system may include an electromechanical actuator with a servo motor. A current control is electronically coupled to the servo motor. A resolver is configured to detect an angular velocity and an angular position of the servo motor. A converter may be configured to convert the angular velocity into a linear velocity and the angular position into a linear position. An intelligent observer may also be configured to estimate a load force of the electromechanical actuator based on the linear position and the linear velocity.

Abstract: A controller for an electromechanical brake actuator (EBA) is provided. EBA has a motor driven in response to a motor drive signal generated by controller. Controller includes a velocity limiter and a current limiter. Velocity limiter limits a velocity command in response to a measured braking force signal output. Limited velocity command has a positive velocity limit boundary defined between a positive maximum velocity limit setpoint and a positive minimum velocity limit setpoint and a negative velocity limit boundary defined between a negative maximum velocity limit setpoint and a negative minimum velocity limit setpoint. Current limiter limits a current command in response to the measured braking force signal output.

Abstract: A motor controller a pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit, a power limit circuit, and an inverter. The PWM circuit is configured to output initial count outputs based on a current command. The power limit circuit includes a peak current detector, a divider, and a dynamic limiter. The power limit circuit is configured to provide updated count outputs based on the initial count outputs, a sensed current, and a power threshold. The inverter is controlled by the updated count outputs and configured to provide output power to a motor. The sensed current is sensed from the output power to the motor.
