A switch assembly includes a switch; and a drive system for the switch. The drive system includes: a drive shaft connecting the drive system to the switch; a motor configured to drive the drive shaft; and a feedback system, which is configured to determine at least two values for a position of the drive shaft; and to generate a feedback signal on the basis of the at least two values; and a control device which is configured to influence an operation of the motor depending on the feedback signal.

Switch assembly with drive system and method for driving a switch

A drive system drives a switch. The drive system includes: a drive shaft connecting the drive system to the switch; a motor configured to drive the drive shaft; a feedback system; and a controller. The feedback system is configured to: determine at least one value for a position of the drive shaft; and generate a feedback signal based on the at least one value. The controller acts on an operation of the motor depending on the feedback signal.

Drive system for a switch, and method for driving a switch

A switch assembly includes a switch and a servo drive system. The drive system includes: a drive shaft connecting the drive system to the switch; a motor driving the switch; a power section supplying power to the motor; a feedback system; and a programmable safety controller. The feedback system determines at least two values for an absolute position of the drive shaft; and generates a feedback signal on the basis of the values. The controller controls the power section depending on at least one desired value; influences an operation of the motor depending on the feedback signal; and identifies the presence of at least one safety-relevant event, and based thereon, transmits a control signal to the power section. The power section is initiates/carries-out at a safety measure depending on the control signal.
