Abstract
An actuator system can include a first actuator, a second actuator, a first actuator control device configured to control the first actuator, a second actuator control device configured to control the second actuator, a shared redundant actuator control device, and at least one transfer device operatively connected to the first, second, and shared redundant actuator control devices. The at least one transfer device can be configured to be operated to select between a first control mode where the first actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the second actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator, a second control mode where the shared redundant actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the second actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator, and a third control mode where the first actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the shared redundant actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator.
