An Actuator Control Unit for Safety-Critical Mechatronic Applications with Embedded Energy Storage Backup

This paper presents an actuator control unit (ACU) with a 450-J embedded energy storage backup to face safety critical mechatronic applications. The idea is to ensure full operation of electric actuators, even in the case of battery failure, by using supercapacitors as a local energy tank. Thanks to...
