Abstract: A method for controlling a part movable with a coil. In this case, a current flowing through the coil and/or a voltage applied to the coil is/are scanned in order to generate a coil signal. In a further step, at least one movement parameter representing an oscillatory movement of the part is ascertained by using the coil signal. Finally, at least one signal parameter of a dither signal is optionally changed to generate the oscillatory movement by comparing the movement parameter to the at least one setpoint value to adapt the oscillatory movement to the setpoint value.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for adapting control of a brushless electric motor in order to influence a position of an actuator, wherein at least two values of an output variable of a sensor are recorded in order to determine a position of the actuator, an item of information relating to the position of the actuator is determined on the basis of the at least two recorded values, the determined information relating to the position of the actuator is assigned to an item of information relating to a rotor position of the electric motor, wherein the at least two recorded values are recorded at two different times in a predefined interval of time, and wherein a duration of the predefined interval of time is determined on the basis of a characteristic of the electric motor.

Abstract: The method for detecting a position error of an electronically commutated actuator drive between an assumed position and an actual position of the actuator drive includes performing a position control procedure for the position of the actuator drive. The method further includes providing data with regard to the assumed position of the actuator drive. The method further includes forming an electric space vector value to generate a component of a stator magnetic field that extends parallel with a direction of an exciter magnetic field that prevails in the case of the assumed position of the actuator drive. The method further includes detecting whether a movement of the actuator drive has occurred as a result of generating the component of the exciter magnetic field.

Abstract: A method for operating an electronically commutated servo motor includes activating the servo motor by a voltage space vector generated in accordance with a commutation pattern on the basis of a predefined torque and a rotor position of a rotor of the servo motor in accordance with an optimization target. The method further includes predefining an activation range that indicates a range of permissible voltage space vectors. The servo motor is activated in such a way that only voltage space vectors within the activation range are used.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a drive of a throttle valve of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes detecting whether the internal combustion engine is currently running or is not running. The method further includes activating the drive to displace the throttle valve into a target position if it is detected that the internal combustion engine is currently not running. The method further includes calibrating a characteristic at the target position. A correlation between a rotor position of the drive and an output voltage of a throttle valve angle transducer follows a characteristic.
