Abstract

See full text

A control device comprises a sensor unit, which outputs a measurement signal, which reflects a deviation of an oscillator along a direction of excitation. A controller main unit derives a control signal for an actuator unit from the measurement signal and a harmonic set point signal such that the actuator unit counteracts a deviation of the deflection of the oscillator from a set amplitude of a harmonic resonance oscillation. A controller extension unit estimates actual-phase and actual-amplitude of a residual oscillation of the oscillator and synchronizes the harmonic set point signal with the residual oscillation at a deactivated actuator unit. The residual energy contained in the residual oscillation is used, in order to arrive faster at a defined operation state of the oscillator.
