This project required an intelligent motor controller to drive a brushed DC linear actuator in an automotive application. Being automotive, the controller had to be powered from battery. The application required exceptional robustness as well as reliability and the inclusion of a range of safety features.
We worked closely with the customer to develop flowcharts of the performance requirement and how the user would interact with this. These flowcharts were then expanded to include key safety critical features, including shutdowns and fault warnings.
