Abstract
An actuator control system includes a controlling controller and one or more driving controllers connected to the controlling controller via a power line, wherein the controlling controller generates a serial signal that composites a power-supply voltage to be supplied to an actuator and a command signal generated in order to control driving of the actuator and transmits the generated serial signal to the driving controllers via the power line, and the driving controllers separate and retrieve the power-supply voltage and the control signal. Due to the configuration described above, the driving controllers supply a drive voltage and a drive control signal to actuators connected thereto. Accordingly, an actuator control system can be provided whose amount of installed wiring has been significantly reduced.
