Abstract (en)

A controller for controlling the operation of a valve in an engine system, the valve being in communication with a battery and a further voltage supply means and comprising an actuator, the controller comprising inputs for receiving data representing the voltage across the battery and further voltage supply means and the current through the actuator; a processor programmed to determine a control function for controlling the operation of the valve in dependence on the voltage across the further voltage supply means and the current through the actuator; and outputs for outputting the control function as determined by the processor to the battery and further voltage supply means.
