Redundant mechatronic
system, wherein: - the redundant mechatronic
system (2) is designed as a two-channel
system and is connected or connectable to a mechanical arrangement for the delivery of varying mechanical power, - both channels each have a power supply (12.1, 12.2) or a common power supply is connected upstream of both channels, - both channels each contain a
control circuit (11.1, 11.2) and are controllable by means of at least one
control unit (13), - the
control unit (13) acts on the control circuits (11.1, 11.2) such that the control circuits (11.1, 11.2) each switch an electrical power specified by the
control unit (13) and obtained from the power supply (12.1, 12.2) to each winding set (10.1, 10.2) of at least one electrically operated
actuator in order to generate the mechanical power, - the two channels are operated in parallel during normal operation. suchthat each channel provides half of the currently available mechanical power, - each of the two channels is designed such that, in the event of failure of the other channel, it alone provides the maximum mechanical power required to fulfill a function of the mechanical arrangement, wherein the redundant mechatronic system (2) has arrangements connected to the control unit (13) by means of which overloads in the channels and / or the components of the channels and / or in the mechanical arrangement can be detected by the control unit (13), - when an overload is detected by means of the control unit (13), a
reduction factor (Rf) counteracting the overload can be determined and applied by means of the control unit (13), - the
reduction factor (Rf) is dimensioned such that, when the
reduction factor (Rf) is applied by the control unit (13), the maximum available system power of both channels is sufficient to fulfill the function,- the
channel power can be controlled by the control unit (13) using the reduction factor (Rf) as a
control variable, such that the respective
current channel power counteracts the overload, characterized in that, by means of the control unit (13) of the redundant mechatronic system (2), the reduction factor (Rf) can be set in the mechanical arrangement when an overload occurs, such that when applied by the control unit (13), the power is reduced in one channel and increased in the other channel by the same amount, alternating over time.
