Control system having variable gain feed forward (VGFF) control

Abstract:

A system for controlling a plurality of actuators is disclosed. The system includes at least one device for operating the plurality of actuators, at least one processor in communication with the device, and a memory coupled the processor. The memory stores data comprising program code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the system to receive as input a profile number indicating a specific test being performed by the system and a profile row indicating a load exerted by the plurality of actuators. The system is further caused to select a predetermined gain output based on the profile number and the profile row from a gain array. The gain array is a matrix containing a plurality of gain values, and the predetermined gain output is selected based on the profile number and the profile row. The system is further caused to determine a control value.
