Abstract
A digital nonlinear corrector of an active magnetic bearing receiving an input signal x(t) and outputting an output control signal u(t) for controlling the position of said active magnetic bearing, the input signal being digitalized by a ADC circuit and provided to an adder, the digital nonlinear corrector comprising a closed control loop delivering an intermediary sequence of numbers y[kT] and having a direct branch comprising a first proportional gain circuit and a feedback branch comprising a series connection of a low-pass filter and a dead zone circuit, such that said low-pass filter is activated when determined upper and lower values of said output control signal are reached, the output control signal reproducing the input signal when these determined upper and lower values are not reached.
