Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for adjusting a real value (actual value) of a physical quantity to a preset value (target value) with the following steps: (a) the difference between the target value and the actual value (referred to below as the control deviation) and its sign (referred to below as the control sign) is determined repeatedly at interval; (b) the control deviation is converted into at least one electrical signal during or after each measurement, and the duration thereof (referred to below as the control deviation duration) is proportional to the absolute value of the control deviation at least in the range of the target value, and the value thereof is a function of the control sign; (c) the charge of an analog electrical memory arrangement is affected by this at least one electrical signal during the control deviation duration; (d) depending on the value of the charge of the memory arrangement, the physical quantity is directly or indirectly affected to keep it in the range of the target value. Said control method, which is partially based on analog and partially on digital components produces, for a motor which uses a microprocessor for commutating or controlling, a rotation speed controller with a very simple structure.
