Abstract

See full text

A controller for an electric power assisted steering system comprises a drive circuit (2) for controlling current to a motor (1) and a data processor (8) for controlling the motor current and hence assistance torque. A circuit (9) generates a current limit which is a monotonically decreasing function of vehicle speed. A comparator (6) compares motor current with the current limit and switches off the drive circuit (2) if the current limit is exceeded.
